Abstract

The brattice cloth is used to prevent air leakages from various locations of underground coal mines. Different chemical compositions of material for brattice cloth have been discussed by many researchers. Brattice cloth can become a source of ignition in hazardous areas so it is required to make it non-ignitable. The occurrence of static electricity is highly dependent on the presence of charged chemical species in the cloth. So, it is processed by various chemical processes to nullify the electrical static charge and toxic effect which develop the self-retardant quality of brattice cloth for safe use in underground coal mines. Fire resistance and electrical resistance tests are discussed in the paper as a vital aspect of brattice cloth. The results indicate that the processed brattice cloth can sometimes fail in the specified tests. The present study was carried out to explore the significance of the fire resistance and electrical resistance of brattice cloth in enhancing the safety of hazardous areas.
