Hemp A cellulose fiber, burns quickly with bright flame. It leaves no melted bead and after burning no sign of flame is seen. It smells like burning leaves or wood. The ash is gray and smoke has no fume hazard. Other characteristics are similar to those of hemp fabric.
Linen Flax A cellulose fiber, it takes longer to ignite. It is easily extinguished by blowing on it. Other properties are similar to hemp and jute. Rayon Is a manufactured cellulose fiber. It burns without flame or melting and may flare up. Unless there is a fabric finish, it doesn't leave any bead.
After the flame is removed, it may glow a bit longer than cotton. It smells like burning paper and leaves soft, gray ash. It's smoke is a little hazardous. Silk Is a protein fiber which burns slowly and curls away from the flame. It leaves a dark bead which can be easily crushed. It is self-extinguishing and leaves ash that is a dark, gritty, fine powder.
It smells like burned hair or charred meat. It gives out little or no smoke and the fume has no hazard. Wool Is a protein fiber which burns slowly. It sizzles and curls away from flame and may curl back onto fingernail. It leaves beads that are brittle, dark, and easily crushed. It is self-extinguishing and leaves harsh ash from crushed bead. The thinner the fabric, the more easily it burns. Thin fabrics made from cellulose fibres can actually be compared to paper, which is also cellulose-based.
Polyester and nylon melt rather than catch fire, and pull away from the flame. If these materials catch fire, they burn more slowly than cotton and the flame often goes out by itself. Because polyester and nylon melt, the burns they cause are often deeper, but over a smaller area. If they are combined with other fibres, such as cotton, viscose or wool, then polyester and nylon will burn vigorously. You can tell the composition of a fabric from the clothing label. Acrylic is the most flammable of all the synthetic fibres.
It can be difficult to ignite, but once acrylic catches fire, it burns vigorously. Acrylic fibres melt and drip. This means that if acrylic clothing catches fire, it may cause deep burns. Sikker hverdag Safe products Clothes and equipment These clothes are the most flammable. These clothes are the most flammable Some textiles are more flammable than others.
All fabrics will burn but some are more combustible than others. Untreated natural fibers such as cotton, linen and silk burn more readily than wool, which is more difficult to ignite and burns with a low flame velocity. The weight and weave of the fabric will affect how easily the material will ignite and burn. Recommended fabrics are materials with a tight weave - wool, modacrylic, percent polyester and those that are flame-retardant treated.
