Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films
NFPA 701 is a crucial standard that evaluates the flame propagation of textiles and films, ensuring that fabrics used in curtains, draperies, and other large-scale applications do not contribute to rapid fire spread. Neroshield™ meets the stringent requirements of NFPA 701, providing a fire-retardant solution that effectively minimizes the risk of fire in fabrics and textiles.
Flame-Resistant Fabrics and Films
The CAN/ULC S-109 standard tests the flame resistance of fabrics and films, particularly for use in Canadian markets. This test measures how well a fabric resists ignition and flame spread. Neroshield™ products meet these standards, ensuring that treated fabrics offer reliable protection against fire hazards in various settings.
Surface Burning Characteristics of Wall Coverings, Drapery, and Upholstery
ASTM E84 assesses the surface burning characteristics of interior finishes, including wall coverings, drapery, and upholstery. This test is crucial for materials used in building interiors, as it evaluates how quickly flames spread along the surface and the amount of smoke produced. Neroshield™ treated materials have been tested under ASTM E84, confirming their ability to limit flame spread and smoke generation, contributing to safer indoor environments.
Flammability Standards for Upholstered Furniture
CAL TB 117 sets the flammability standards for upholstered furniture, ensuring that items like sofas and chairs meet safety requirements for flame resistance. This includes standards recognized by UFAC Class 1 and NFPA 260. Neroshield™ treated upholstery meets these benchmarks, providing enhanced fire protection for residential and commercial furniture.
Flammability of Interior Materials for Motor Vehicles
MVSS 302 is a standard that evaluates the flammability of materials used in the occupant compartments of motor vehicles, including leather and fabric upholstery. This standard ensures that interior materials do not contribute to fire spread in vehicles. Neroshield™ has successfully passed these tests, ensuring that treated vehicle interiors offer an added layer of fire safety.
Flammability Requirements for Aircraft Seat Cushions
FAA/FAR 25.853a specifies the flammability requirements for materials used in aircraft seat cushions, focusing on limiting fire spread and minimizing smoke and toxic gas emissions. Neroshield™ treated textiles have met these stringent requirements, providing crucial fire protection for aviation applications where safety standards are exceptionally high.
Protecting fabrics and textiles from fire hazards is essential to ensuring safety in a variety of settings. With Neroshield™, you can achieve superior fire protection that is tested, certified, and trusted.
