Resumo(s): | This study compares the flame speed of different textile materials employed in professional uniforms. Five different garments of aeronauts’ uniforms were analyzed (totaling 200 specimens submitted to flammability tests). Plain weaves and twill weaves composed by 100% CO; 100% PES; 67% PES/33% CO; 50% PES /50% WO; and 55% PES/45%WO were analyzed in the warp and filling directions. The flame speed of each material was determined and differences in the flame propagation of the fabrics were identified. The lowest flame speed occurred for the material 50% PES /50% WO plain weave and weft direction (0.742±0.140 m/s). The highest flame speed was 3.698±1.806 cm/s for the material 67%PES/33%CO, plain weave and filling direction. Future experiments for reducing the fabric flammability of the uniforms could be related to more closed fabric constructions; mixtures with synthetic fibers to add functionality; changing the direction of the fabric; and changing in the weight and torsion of its constituent yarns. |
