Abstract
The flame resistance of needle-punch material made from a blend of thermostable fibres was investigated. The dependence of the flame resistance on the process parameters of the needle-punch heat-insulating material was established. The maximum value of the oxygen index of 39% was attained at a punch density of 150 l/cm2, punching depth of 10 mm, and polyester fibre content of 10%. Addition of low-combustibility polyester fibre in the blend allows reducing the cost of the raw material and price of the material, with good flame resistance of the finished material.
