The flammability hazard of a fabric depends on the chemical nature of the fibre or fibre blend, finishing treatment, fabric structure (tightness, thickness, nap of surface) and the type of garment. Ease of ignition, ease of flame spread and tendency to shrink and melt are important factors. Lately the rate of heat transfer from a flammable fabric has attracted more attention. Now methods have been developed to measure this property, which, from the point of view of skin damage, is extremely important. In this article the flammability properties of common textile materials are discussed in the light of some recent investigations.
织物的燃烧危险性取决于纤维或纤维混纺物的化学性质、后整理处理、织物结构（紧度、厚度、表面绒毛）以及服装类型。易燃性、火焰蔓延的难易程度以及收缩和熔融的倾向都是重要因素。最近，易燃织物的热传递速率引起了更多关注。现在已经开发出测量这种性质的方法，从皮肤损伤的角度来看，这是极其重要的。本文根据最近的一些研究讨论了常见纺织材料的燃烧性能。
