Flame-Resistant Wool and Wool Blends

  • Chapter
Flame - Retardant Polymeric Materials

Abstract

Throughout the world, many people die or are injured from burns associated with flammable fabrics. Human suffering and material losses as a result of fires are frightening and staggering. Flammable fabrics were involved annually in about one fourth of the 5.5 million fires which resulted in about 12,000 fatalities and about 250,000 injuries in the United States, which has a population of about 215 million.(5,6,8,9,16,58,59,142,204,205,211,220,230,231,242,257) Burn injuries require long hospitalization and are often fatal. Awareness of this problem is increasing, and the public probably would be willing to pay the added cost of the protection offered by flame-resistant clothing and flame-resistant upholstery, draperies, and related furnishings.
