What are the main applications of Total Brgiht Polyester Flame Retardant Yarn

2026-02-07

      Total Brgiht Polyester Flame Retardant Yarn is a yarn made from polyester substrate modified with bromine based flame retardancy. It combines the wear-resistant, easy to weave, cost-effective, and flame retardant characteristics of polyester, as well as the flame retardant properties of self extinguishing, low smoke, and no melt droplets. The flame retardant level can reach up to B1 level flame retardant standard, and is suitable for all scenarios that have strict requirements for textile flame retardancy and need to balance weaving processability and durability. It is the most widely used universal flame retardant yarn in civil and industrial flame retardant textiles. Its core applications are concentrated in four major fields: industrial protection, public building decoration, transportation vehicle interior, and special civil home textiles. There are also niche applications for supporting flame retardant weaving. The specific landing scenarios and finished product forms are as follows:
1、 Industrial safety protection (core mainstream scenario)
      Suitable for working environments with open flames, high temperatures, and flammable and explosive risks, it is the core material for flame retardant fixtures in various industries, taking into account both protective and wear-resistant requirements for heavy labor operations:
      Metallurgy, welding, and forging industries: producing welding uniforms, metallurgical protective clothing, and forging work uniforms to resist sparks, high-temperature slag ignition, and prevent burns without melting droplets;
Petroleum, chemical, and gas industries: produce oilfield/chemical operator uniforms, gas inspection uniforms, suitable for flammable and explosive environments, and resistant to acid and alkali, oil stains, and easy to clean;
      Power industry: produce power maintenance clothing and electrician operation clothing to prevent electric arcs/sparks from igniting clothing, and the insulation properties of polyester can also assist in improving work safety;
      Firefighting assistance: produce firefighting uniforms and patrol uniforms, replace high-end aramid yarn to reduce costs, meet the flame retardant requirements of daily firefighting work, and are suitable for large-scale distribution.
2、 Public Buildings and Interior Decoration (Fire Prevention Needs Scene)
      Comply with the building fire safety regulations for densely populated places such as shopping malls, hotels, and rail transit stations, delay the spread of fires, buy time for personnel evacuation, and balance decoration and durability:
Universal decorative fabric: making flame-retardant curtains, sandpaper, tablecloths, and pillow covers, suitable for hotels and office buildings KTV、 Public spaces such as cinemas;
      Wall and Soft Decoration: Produce flame-retardant wall soft wrap and soundproof cloth for use in areas such as conference rooms and cinemas that require soft decoration to avoid the risk of fabric fires;
Ground support: Produce flame-retardant carpet base fabric, edge wrapping yarn, and match with flame-retardant carpet surface layer to meet the flame-retardant requirements of large-area carpets in high-speed railway stations, airports, and shopping malls.
3、 Interior of transportation vehicles (in car/marine flame retardant scenarios)
      Compliant with flame retardant national standards such as GB 8410-2006 for automobiles, SOLAS Convention for ships, and interior design for rail transit, suitable for the fire prevention requirements of enclosed spaces, and resistant to pollution and easy to clean:
      Automotive Interior: Production of seat covers, door interior fabrics, ceiling fabrics, and foot mat edging yarn, with low smoke characteristics to reduce the production of toxic smoke in fires and increase the probability of escape;
Rail transit: producing seat fabrics, curtain fabrics, and armrest wrapping fabrics for high-speed trains and subways, adapting to the characteristics of dense personnel and meeting strict fire safety standards;
      Ship interior: Manufacturing cabin curtains, bedding, and seat fabrics that are resistant to moisture and seawater corrosion, suitable for marine environments while meeting ship flame retardant requirements.
4、 Special civilian home textiles (essential for places with low self rescue capabilities)
      For places such as schools, kindergartens, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. where the self rescue ability of personnel is weak, in accordance with the fire management regulations of the place, and also suitable for the home fire prevention needs of the elderly and children:
      Special premises: produce flame-retardant bedding (bed sheets, duvet covers), flame-retardant curtains, and patient gowns to reduce the probability of fire and delay the spread of fire;
Civilian households: make flame-retardant curtains and sand curtains around the kitchen and living room, taking into account the anti wrinkle and easy to clean characteristics for daily use, to make up for the shortcomings of household fire prevention.
5、 Supporting and niche industrial applications
      Flame retardant matching yarn: producing flame retardant sewing thread to solve the fire safety vulnerability of "fabric flame retardant and sewing thread flammable" in finished products such as protective clothing, curtains, and workwear, ensuring overall flame retardancy;
      Industrial flame retardant cloth: making flame retardant tarpaulin and rainproof cloth, used for outdoor covering of construction sites, warehouses, and logistics, waterproof and wear-resistant, and preventing ignition by open flames/high temperatures;
      Flame retardant packaging cloth: used to make outer packaging cloth for flammable and explosive materials such as fireworks, chemical raw materials, etc., to avoid combustion caused by static electricity and open flames during transportation and storage.
