Research into the Dependency of the Flame-Retardant Textile Safety Index on the Fibre Content
Employment in the oil and gas industry, due to the specifics of work, is fraught with explosion and fire. One of the ways to protect the employees is the use of new generation special-purpose flame-retardant wear. The article at hand provides the results of research into the dependency of flame-retardant textiles safety index on the fibre content. The objective of the research was to identify the impact of the fibre content of oil-and-water-repellent-impregnated flame-retardant textiles on the tailored properties. The task of the researchers was to conduct a comparative analysis of the objects of research against various indices, and with the analysis data in mind determine the consumer product ID preferences in the market of special-purpose high-temperature/fire/oil-refined-product-protective wear.
