Thermal protective textiles

Thermal protective textiles are protective fabrics that prevent themselves from being ignited or that can slow down and stop burning after contact with a flame or a hot object. The core of the protective fabric is a high-performance flame-retardant fiber.

There is a big gap in the level of flame-retardant fiber technology in various countries. High-tech is mainly concentrated in developed countries such as Europe, the United States and Japan, and various types of heat-resistant flame-retardant fibers have been researched and developed.

Japan: It has been successful in the industrialization of flame-retardant textile materials, especially in the fields of carbon fiber, aramid fiber, PBO fiber, PPS, etc. Japan has controlled more than 70% of the world's carbon fiber production capacity, monopolizing the world's high-tech The development and market of fiber materials, the production of flame-retardant fibers are mainly concentrated in Kuraray, Uniqek, Mitsubishi Rayon, Teijin, Toray, Toyobo and other companies.

The United States: As early as 1753, it first obtained a patent for flame-retardant blends used in textiles. Its flame-retardant fiber has always been a world leader. For example, DuPont's Nomex series fibers are widely used in fire fighting clothing.

Europe: French Kermel company and Austrian Lenzing company.
