Impact of N-P flame retardants on PET fabric's fire safety: Combustion resistance and melt-dripping suppression

Key Points

• Enhanced combustion resistance is observed in PET fabric treated with N-P flame retardants—showing superior fire safety than untreated fabric.
• The study identifies a significant reduction in melt-dripping during combustion tests, indicating lower risk of fire spread.
• Assessment through standardized combustion tests reveals detailed performance metrics for PET fabric under varying conditions.
• Implications for the textile industry are notable, as this treatment may set a new standard for fire safety in synthetic fabrics.
