To study the influence of spandex on combustion behavior of textile fabrics, two kinds of nylon 6 fabrics were tested using cone calorimeter test and vertical burning test. Some key combustion parameters such as heat release rate (HRR), total heat release (THR) and rate of smoke release (RSR) were obtained from cone calorimeter test and afterflame time and damaged length from vertical burning test. Results indicated that the nylon 6 fabric containing spandex showed 21% higher HRR value. But THRs of the nylon 6 fabric containing spandex and the pure nylon 6 fabric were close. RSR curves indicated that RSR value of the nylon 6 fabric containing spandex was 73% higher than that of the pure nylon 6 fabric. The afterflame time and damaged length of the nylon 6 fabric containing spandex were much longer than that of the pure nylon 6 fabric. Spandex does accelerate the combustion behavior on Nylon fiber.

Wool and wool-polyamide blended yarns (88.6% wool–11.4% polyamide 6,6 and 78.5% wool–21.5% polyamide 6,6) were knitted and the produced fabrics were treated by exhaustion method with zirconium complexes. Six different baths containing potassium hexafluorozirconate and zirconium acetate were studied. The flammability hazard was evaluated considering parameters such as the spread of flame, the heat release and the smoke release rate. Regardless of the blend composition, the untreated fabrics could not pass the vertical flammability test. 100% wool fabric could pass the vertical flammability test when treated with only 1% potassium hexafluorozirconate and 10% zirconium acetate solution. Higher compositions of metal complexes were required for the blended fabrics to pass the vertical flammability test. In the cone calorimeter test, 100% wool treated with 5% potassium hexafluorozirconate and 10% zirconium acetate solution gave the lowest peak heat release and smoke release rate values as 146.4 kW/m2 and 1.2 s−1, respectively.

Reaction Performance

In the present study, fire reaction improvement of an epoxy polymer mortar (PM) formulation, induced by polymer modification with three different flame retardant (FR) systems, was analyzed and quantified. For this purpose, several epoxy PM formulations, modified with different contents and/or types of phosphate, metal hydroxide and brominated based FR systems, were manufactured and tested for both, fire reaction and flexural strength. The results were compared with those of plain epoxy PMs. Fire reaction of PM formulations was assessed by means of the Oxygen Consumption Calorimeter test, also known as Cone Calorimeter test. This test allows the determination of the main parameters that assess fire reaction behaviour of combustible materials: heat release rate, smoke extinction area, carbon dioxide and monoxide release rates, and ignitability. Test results revealed that all FR systems, in particular the phosphate based one, are effective in improving fire reaction performance of epoxy PMs. Moreover, this improvement is attained without significant losses of bearing carrying capacity of PM materials.
