What happens if you unknowingly place a partially extinguished cigarette butt on a household carpet? You can imagine the consequences for yourself. To reduce such accidents, we should enhance the flame-retardant properties of carpets, giving them superior fire prevention and extinguishing characteristics.
Based on application methods, carpet flame retardants can be categorized into additive flame retardants and reactive flame retardants. The former are mixed directly with raw materials for relatively convenient processing; the latter bond as monomers to polymer chains, minimally affecting product performance while delivering more enduring flame retardancy. Flame-retardant modified carpets not only retain their original appearance and physical properties but also prevent participation in combustion when exposed to open flames. Localized rapid carbonization helps suppress rapid flame spread, preventing fires at their source.
