Comparison of thermal protective performance of aluminized fabrics of basalt fiber and glass fiber
Rapid progress has been made in the field of fire protection during the past few decades, nevertheless, the development of fire protective clothing with prolonged durability has always been a matter for public attention. In order to prevent or minimize skin burn damage resulting from flashover, a kind of thermal protective composite fabric, the surface of which is aluminized, has been upgraded and developed. Using the UV–Vis–NIR (ultraviolet–visible–near infrared) spectrophotometer, the thermal radiation protective performance of aluminized fabrics made of basalt fiber and glass fiber were evaluated and compared. The aluminized fabrics and the substrate fabrics used were exposed to a fire environment generated by burning liquified gas for a few minutes, aiming at evaluating the protective effect of the aluminum coating and characterizing the thermal insulating performance. The results showed that the spectral reflectance of aluminized fabrics present obvious differences over a wide range of wavelengths, perhaps due to the different yarn parameters and weave structure. The fire exposure experiment indicated that the aluminized fabric of basalt fiber had better thermal protective performance than the substrate fabrics. Although the thermal insulating performance of aluminized fabrics is insufficient to provide enough time for people to focus on his/her job, the aluminized fabrics exhibit great potential application in the fields of firefighting and military.
