Mechanism:
Electrical or electro-hydraulic mechanisms can be incorporated enabling the Folding textile
based fabric to deploy and retract easily, once triggered using the remote.

Fire Retardant Materials used in Textiles: These can be


used in our Situation.
Wool
It is the textile fibre obtained from sheep and certain other
animals, including cashmere from goats. It has the quality of
being elastic.
Wool ignites at a higher temperature than cotton and some
synthetic fibres. It has a lower rate of flame spread, a lower
rate of heat release, a lower heat of combustion, and does not
melt or drip Wool carpets are specified for high safety
environments, such as trains and aircraft. Wool is usually
specified for garments for firefighters, soldiers, and others in
occupations where they are exposed to the likelihood of fire.

Nomex
It is a registered trademark for flame-resistant metaaramid material. It is sold in both fibre and sheet forms and is
used as a fabric wherever resistance from heat and flame is
required. It is used in various applications including the helmets
of fire fighters. Nomex is best known as a barrier to fire and
heat
Polybenzimidazole fiber
Polybenzimidazole fibre is a synthetic fibre with a very high
melting point. It has exceptional thermal and chemical stability
and does not readily ignite. This material has the capability of
resisting flame
Twaron
It is also a heat resistant and strong synthetic fibre. It is used
mainly for Industrial purposes. Some of the main uses include
flame-resistant clothing, protective clothing and helmets, cutfast or heat-hardy gloves, sporting goods, textiles, and ballistic
vests.
