Combustible fabric is material that can catch fire and burn when exposed to an ignition source, such as an open flame or heat. Examples include cotton, silk, and many synthetic fabrics.

Noncombustible fabric, on the other hand, is material that does not readily catch fire or burn when exposed to these same sources of ignition. This type of fabric typically has a high resistance to flame and heat, making it safer in situations where fire risk is a concern.

In summary, the key difference lies in their flammability properties, with combustible fabric being prone to ignition and burning, while noncombustible fabric is resistant to these risks.

How do you remove stains from white clothing?

Stains are removed from white fabric in a very similar way to removing stains from any other fabric, it tends to depend on what made the stain. The biggest difference is that, if the fabric isn't too delicate, you can bleach white clothing. There will be directions on your washing machine which will help you know how much bleach to use in a load of laundry, this can vary by machine.

Can you give me simple definition please of the difference between fugitive dyes and dyes which bleed?

Fugitive dyes are natural dyes that fade and/or change color dramatically over a long period of time (usually many years). Some fugitive dyes fade away completely, while others change color, for example, a bright blue fugitive dye might fade to a light tan. They were mostly used to dye fabric before the invention of chemical dyes in the early 20th century. Bleeding of dye colors is the transfer of a dye in fabric to part of the same fabric or another fabric when the fabric is wet. This can occur with older fabrics, and even with cheaper modern fabrics. The mostly likely dye color to bleed is red (although other colors can bleed). Washing white/light colored clothes separately from darker, more deeply dyed clothes is a common way to to avoid having dye from a dark fabric bleeding into a light or white fabric.

Finding Great Fabric?

There is a difference between different fabrics in the same way as there is a difference between night and day. Anyone who deals in fabric can attest to this fact. However, there are a number of different fabric materials out there that are just as good in generic form as they are through trusted brand names. Depending on the fabric, you can find a piece of luxurious fabric for a much lower price than with brand names.

What are the causes of the fabric color difference and garment color difference?

The fabric color difference: one same roll fabric have left, center, right color difference(incluing dark or light edge), back-to-face shading; one same batch fabric have color difference between roll and roll, piece and peice, and out of color sample(including the sample color and product color difference, contracted sample and product color difference). The garment color difference: one same garment, different part have different color, the same part have color difference betwwen up, down, left and right; one set garment have color difference between piece and piece; one same shipment, different carton have color difference, different piece have color difference. The garment color difference is because of the fabric color difference, if the fabric has fewer color difference problem, garment is the same, otherwise, the garment have more problems. But some fabric color difference problems can be overcomed or lower the serious degree in the garment production process, some problems are difficult to overcome, the only way is not to use these fabric. So, the relation of the fabric color difference and garment color difference is not a simple causal relationship, but complex internal relations. By YULONG FR tex
