BURN TESTS WITH STAIN REPELLANT

BURN TESTS WITH STAIN REPELLANT

Here are the stills from the burn and you may judge which is which after you have watched the videos:

One aspect of promoting PROCESS CONTROL in the the FRETWORK Code of Good Practice is the contentious issue of treating finished upholstery to provide soiling or stain repellant properties AFTER the Outer Cover has been produced. Within Process Control it becomes part of the testing to ensure compliance.

Treatment AFTER the goods have been sold has a lot of issues but above all is the maintenance of Ignition Resistant properties.

So we thought we would try to show what could happen. This does not say that what we show will happen but it would be good to see the test confirmation and equivalent process control to prove compliance to the FFR has been maintained.

FFR COMPLIANT PLUS STAIN REPELLANT OVERSPRAY.

To add some context we have also shown comparable burns of the same fabric in its “before overspray” state  and also on the very same fabric without any flame retardant treatment so you can judge if the overspray has simply taken the fabric back to the same risk of ignition as fabric straight from the loom.
