January 10, 2025 - 20:55
Researchers at Texas A&M University have unveiled a groundbreaking one-step, water-based flame retardant coating designed to significantly reduce the flammability of cotton materials. This innovative coating is non-toxic and utilizes a volatile base, making it not only safer for consumers but also environmentally friendly.
The development of this coating comes at a crucial time, as fire safety in textiles remains a pressing concern for both personal safety and property protection. The new formulation is scalable, meaning it can be easily adapted for large-scale industrial applications, including clothing, upholstery, and other fabric-based products.
By providing an effective barrier against flames, this coating has the potential to save lives and protect property from fire hazards. The research team is optimistic about the future implications of this technology, as it could lead to widespread adoption in various industries, enhancing safety standards and reducing fire-related incidents.
