Have you ever noticed that the clothing worn by firefighters or sanitation personnel will always have yellow-silver-yellow, red-silver-red fabrics on the cuffs, trousers, chest and other places? So what kind of material is this? In fact, this type is often referred to as reflective flame retardant tape.

The surface of the flame-retardant reflective material is composed of wide-angle exposed high-refractive glass microbeads, which are adhered to a durable cotton or aramid liner, and are generally sewn into the security protection of fire fighting, petrochemical and other fields. Its flame retardant and heat resistance are strong, and it can play a certain role in safety warning and protection in safe operation.

Its common colors are fluorescent yellow, fluorescent red or several types with silver reflective strips in the middle. However, it is easy for everyone to misunderstand this product. Is it possible to sew a reflective flame-retardant cloth on the clothes to prevent burning? In fact, the so-called "flame retardant" does not mean that clothing will not burn when it comes into contact with the source of goods, but that this type of material can reduce its flammability as much as possible in the fire, slow down the spread of the flame, and do not form a large area. Burning. And after leaving the fire source, it can be quickly extinguished, no longer burning or smoldering. Therefore, there is still a difference between "flame retardant" and "non-flammable".
Therefore, for firefighters who need to frequent fire scenes and other dangerous places, wearing fire-resistant and flame-retardant clothing is a kind of protection for them.
