Fire Retardant Fabrics

Purpose: To find which fabric is most flammable. (Which fabric go forth cause fire fastest)

Materials:

Lighter

safety goggles

Stop Watch

5cm x 5cm piece of Denim

5cm x 5cm piece of Nylon

5cm x 5cm piece of Polyester

5cm x 5cm piece of Cotton

5cm x 5cm piece of Rayon

5cm x 5cm piece of Acrylic

Procedure:

1) Place a piece fabric under(a) flare. Make sure that severally time you do this, the flame is placed at an equal distance from the fabric.

2) As shortly as fabric is exposed to flame, begin timing with the drop out watch

3) Stop timing when fabric ignites.

4) Put out the fire. take heed not to destroy the fabric, it can be used for presentation.

5) testify the time it took for the fabric to ignite

6) Repeat steps 1 to 5 three times for each piece of fabric.

Hypothesis: We think that the Polyester will ignite the fastest, because it is very light, and delicate. We think that the Nylon will ignite in the longest time because it is much like a plastic.

Results: In order to control all of the variables, we burned and timed each type fabric three times. Below is a remit showing our results in sulfuronds.

Denim         5.3 siemens         4.8 s         5 atomic number 16         5.03 sec

Nylon         4 sec         3.3 sec         4.1 sec         3.8 sec

Polyester         0.5 sec         0.

Cotton         4.6 sec         4.2 sec         5 sec         4.6 sec

Rayon         3.5 sec         3 sec         2.4 sec         2.97 sec

Acrylic         4.7 sec         5 sec         4.1 sec         4.6 sec

Conclusion:

The Polyester ignited the fastest, which is what we hypothesized. The flame was nearly an inch away(p) from the fabric, when it ignited. It burned up in a...
