Currently, synthetic carpet products are widely used in the home, as they compare favorably with natural ones
in terms of technical characteristics. This is due to their high durability, lack of tendency to rot, wide range of colors
and relatively low cost of production. However, the ease, ignition and increased flammability of most synthetic carpet
products result in rapid spread of fire through them, igniting other products and objects in the vicinity. The sources
of the fire are usually matches, cigarettes, careless handling of fire, and short circuits. In this regard, the purpose of
the study is to investigate the combustion process of textile synthetic carpet products of "Bal Textile" LLP with
justification of the most rational methods of flammability and combustibility assessment. Subject of research:
processes of thermo-oxidative destruction of modified polypropylene textile materials and their relationship with fire
hazard properties, flammability of fiber-forming polymers. The combustion process of synthetic carpet products of
Bal Textile LLP with different Heat Set yarn densities and pile lengths were investigated. Based on the research we
have done, it has been concluded that the higher the pile of the carpet, the higher the level of combustion. Carpets melt
when ignited and are also colored as a black liquid. The value of the conducted research is that on their basis it is
possible to classify materials by degree of combustibility (flammability) and to develop requirements for synthetic carpet
products of LLP "Bal Textile" of reduced fire hazard taking into account their possible application in practice.
