The Way to Make Cloth Fireproof

Whether you're a business manager worried about your staff's uniforms, an interior decorator concerned with drapes, or a homeowner who wants to be as protected as possible, you have one thing on your mind: fire. You know that fabric is extremely flammable. Thankfully, there is something you can do about it. With the right products, you can almost make cloth fireproof.

Fireproof vs. Fire Resistant

It's important to note before we go any further that fireproof is not the same as fire resistant or fire retardant. Cloth will always be able to catch on fire eventually. Flame resistant or fire resistant materials are designed to prevent the spread of fire and withstand heat, meaning they can self-extinguish once the source of ignition is removed. These fire retardant materials are chemically treated to be slow burning or self-extinguishing when exposed to an open flame. A fire resistant product is able to be applied to your cloth and give you time. A few minutes can make all the difference between everyone leaving the building and having the fire department arrive to put out the flames or a major catastrophe.
