Necessity of Fire Retardant Thread

A garment sewn with Non fire retardant threads will be torn apart into pieces when catching fire, because the threads will burn and break. Such a case happens even when the garment is made of flame retardant fabrics.

The meta aramid thread is the solution to such a hidden risk.

As an inherently flame retardant material, meta aramid performs well constantly at a high temperature of 180℃, and only starts to get carbonized at 370℃. Besides, it doesn't melt or drop, which would avoid a secondary damage to skin.

With these advantages, the fire resistant thread keeps the garment a whole integrated piece in fire to offer the wearer a better protection and win more seconds for them to get out of the fire.

Property of Meta Aramid FR Thread

Item	Ne 20s/3(Tex 90)	Ne 30s/3 (Tex 60)	Ne 40s/3 (Tex 45)
Breaking Strength	2400 cN	≥1600 cN	≥1200 cN

Length	10,000 - 11,000 meters/kg*	15,000 - 16,000 meters/kg*	20,000 - 21,000 meters/kg*

Note:* Theoretically, threads length is about 10% longer than the listed. However, there is a material loss during production.

So for bulk goods, the length is as we list in the table.

For example, in theory, length of Ne 40s/3 fire resistant thread is, 22,500 meters/kg, while its actual length is about 20,000 to 21,000 meters.
