Textiles are used in garments, upholstery, automotive interiors, protective clothing, hospitals, and public spaces. In many applications, fire safety is not optional. A fabric that ignites easily can create serious safety risks, product rejection, legal liability, and reputational damage. That’s why flammability test in textile services in Chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB are essential for manufacturers and exporters who must prove compliance with safety standards.
Fabric flammability depends on fiber type, weave/knit structure, coatings, chemical finishes, and thickness. Two fabrics that look similar may behave very differently when exposed to flame. Using flammability test in textile services in Chennai – Kiyo R&D LAB helps you:
Flammability testing evaluates how a fabric behaves when exposed to a controlled flame or heat source. Typical results include ignition behavior, flame spread, burn length, after-flame time, after-glow time, and dripping behavior (where applicable). These results help determine whether a textile is suitable for its intended application.
Used for protective textiles, upholstery, and technical fabrics to measure flame spread and burning behavior when the fabric is positioned vertically.
Common for apparel fabrics, especially where flame spread behavior is evaluated under angled exposure conditions.
Used for materials where burn rate and self-extinguishing behavior are important.
Measures the minimum oxygen concentration required to sustain combustion, useful for comparing flame resistance of materials.
Kiyo R&D LAB follows recognized textile flammability standards such as:
