Abstract EN

Velvet fabrics are luxurious, expensive and currently enjoying a renewed popularity.

It is not only a famous in upholstery fabric but also are gaining importance in other textile and uses such as apparel, foot wear, toys and accessories.

Flammability testing is arguably one of the most important testing procedures within the textile industry because it has crucial safety implications in the event of a fire.

It has been statistically shown that the Major cause of fatalities in fire can be directly attributed to the accidental ignition of upholstery and textiles, so it is only sensible that proper flammability standards should be in place.

Flammability performance can be improved by the fabric manufacturer at the design stage to ensure a safer interior environment.

Owing to this it is very important to study the effect of some geometrical construction elements such as pile weave - pile height on fire resistance property of velvet fabrics, to enriching it and also improving its properties so that to meet the functional purpose it is produced for.

So we produced 9 fabrics treated with the same fire retardant substance but differ from each other in the pile weave and pile height then these fabrics were tested for fire resistance to determine which fabric resist the fire greater than the others.

That the pile structure 1/2V has scored high rates in flame resistance followed by pile structure 2/4U and pile structure 3/6W respectively
