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.
