Textiles - Fire and explosion - HSE
Flock dust. Ground flock (rather than precision cut) from mainly cotton, acrylic and nylon fibres, gives a higher risk of explosion. If dispersed into the atmosphere, eg when cleaning down, it can cause an explosion and/or fire. Fibres settle quickly, so don't turn gas burners on stenters on for ten minutes after the fans start.
