How is 100% wool carpet fire resistant?

Q:How is 100% wool carpet fire resistant?

A:Any New Zealander will tell you that Wool is an amazing natural fibre. Did you know a 100% wool carpet has high levels of fire resistance? 100% Berber wool carpet which is naturally resistant to burning due to its high keratin protein and moisture content. Fibres made of oil like Polyester and Nylon burn quickly and melt. Wool by comparison is very difficult to set alight and will only burn weakly if held over a flame. Wool will self-extinguish when the flame is removed. Wool fibre becomes a char which can be brushed away often leaving a textile completely unmarked. With wool carpet there is less chance of ignition, less likelihood of flames spreading and less smoke than synthetic fibres which makes it one of the safest materials.
