Inherently FR Fabrics
IFR fabrics are made from fibers that intrinsically provide fire resistant properties; therefore, cleaning does not reduce the FR qualities. There are two types of IFR fabrics: natural and synthetic.
Wool and silk are fabrics with natural FR characteristics. Wool is generally considered the most flame retardant natural fiber, as it is difficult to ignite and may extinguish smaller flames on its own. Silk is also difficult to ignite, burns slowly, and may self-extinguish. Cotton and linen, on the other hand, burn quickly and easily.
IFR fabrics can also come from synthetic fibers that have been created with built-in flame resistance. Certain acrylic, polyester and nylon fabrics are constructed to be fire retardant, which results in them catching fire at much higher temperatures than natural fibers. And when those temperatures are reached, the fabrics typically melt rather than burn.
IFR fabrics can protect your family from fire without introducing chemically treated materials into your home. This would certainly be something to consider for seniors, people living alone, upstairs bedrooms, or children's rooms.
