2. Fire-retardant fabric - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire-retardant_fabric

   The term fire-retardant as applied to organic (i.e., containing carbon) materials, is intended to refer to reduced fire hazard, as all will burn under certain circumstances. The tests used specified in building codes , such as NFPA 701, are more correctly flame resistance tests, which test a fabric's ability to resist ignition with the flame ...

   Nomex is a trademarked term for an inherently flame-resistant fabric with meta-aramid chemistry widely used for industrial applications and fire protection equipment. It was developed in the early 1960s by DuPont and first marketed in 1967. [1] The fabric is often combined with Kevlar to increase its resistance for breakage or tear.

6. Fire retardant - Wikipedia
