Smoke-forming properties of some incombustible fibres

Conclusions The smoke-forming power of textile materials having a weight from 0.1 to 1.2 kg/m², made from Fenilon, Vniivlon, and Tulen fibres, is discussed.An approach has been proposed for comparing data on polymer smoke-formation. Fenilon evolves the greatest amount of smoke; its smoke-forming coefficient is approximately three times as large as those for Vniivlon and Tulen.Translated from Khimicheskie Volokna, No. 6, pp. 25–27, November–December, 1983.
