Flame resistant fabrics are
materials which have special anti flammable properties. Flame resistant fabrics
can be classified as inherent, hybrid and flame resistant treated fabrics. The
key applications of flame resistant fabrics include firefighter apparel,
military clothing, police uniforms, industrial work wear and motor racing
apparel. New product innovations are required for more comfort fit, safety and
mobility. Flame retardants are used to improve the anti flammability of the
fabrics.

Some of the key factors which are
driving the flame resistant fabric market include Government regulations,
military regulations, insurance company policies and increasing safety
awareness. Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) governs the
flame resistant fabric industry by setting flammability test standards and
other safety regulations. The most commonly used flammability test is (American
Society of Testing of Material) ASTM D6413*, also called as vertical test.
Passing this test is an essential criterion for flame resistant fabrics which
describes its anti flammable or protective characteristics. National Fire
Protection Agency (NFPA) directs the use of different flame resistant fabrics
according to the related environmental risk associated in that particular
application area. NFPA standards are renewed after every five years.
Introduction of strict laws regarding flame resistant apparels, and growing use
of these apparels has reduced fire related injuries and fatalities in recent
years.
Some of the challenges faced by the
manufacturers are getting approval from governing bodies, passing flammability
test and prices of raw materials. The market is moving forward due to the
innovations in products and materials, improved safety levels and comfort, and
advanced hybrid designs. The U.S. and Europe is dominating the flame resistant
fabric industry owing to high demand of flame resistant fabric in military
forces and stringent regulations regarding safety of workers. Some of the key
participants in the industry are Basofil Fibers, Evonik Fibres, Kaneka
Corporation, Lenzing, Rhodia, Toyobo, Westex , DuPont, Kermel and Teijin
Aramid.
