	Kanecaron does not melt or drip when ignited. When Polyester is exposed to heat and flame, molten droplets can be produced. These molten droplets can potentially promote secondary burning. Even FR-Polyester can stick to the skin and can cause severe burns. Kanecaron fibers possess unique "No Dripping, No Melting" qualities which enhance its inherently flame retardant characteristics. Video images of this feature are found below.
	<The Flame Retardancy of Kanecaron > ignition after 20 sec. result FR-Polyester Fabric The flame has ignited in polyurethane foam. Kanecaron Fabric(Printed) Self-extinguishes when flame source removed. based on BS 5852: 1990 source 1 method.(for the upholstered furniture)
	< Video Clip > 1. Butane Flame Test using Flame Retardant Polyester Fabric This clip shows that FR-Polyester melts and the underlying foam ignites. 2. Butane Flame Test using Kanecaron Printed Fablic This clip shows that Kanecaron chars but does not melt, thus protecting the underlying foam from igniting and arresting flame. 3.
