Effect of Di-ammonium Hydrogen Phosphate on Jute Fabric for Fire Resistance

Abstract

Over the years, technologies have been used for the development of various textile products to meet the consumer demands in different fields as per their end-use specifications. The market sustainability of each new product mainly depends on the raw material as well as its functionality. A functional finishing dictates the end-use of the products as well as enhances the life of the products. There are important historical and economic reasons for the fact that, the science and technology of flame retardant for cellulose fibres are more advanced than for other fibres and polymers. Until perhaps 25 years ago, an overwhelming proportion of all textiles used were made of cellulose fibres. Jute is one of the important natural cellulosic fibers and used for diversified product. Similar to cotton, jute fiber has the potential to impart different functionality by different chemical finishing for its diversification. This project has been taken to improve the flameproof property of jute fabrics. Jute fabrics were treated with Di-Ammonium Hydrogen Phosphate by various concentrations under certain condition. The study was conducted at the

Effect of Rot-, Fire-, and Water-Retardant Treatments on Jute Fiber and Their Associated Thermoplastic Composites: A Study by FTIR

“…However, the burned area decreased with the increasing chemical concentrations of T2 treatment in the following order T2F1 (0.045 ± 0.021) cm 2 > T2F2 (0.03 ± 0.014) cm 2 > T2F3 (0.015 ± 0.0007) cm 2 , indicating that the T2 treatment inhibited the growth of the flame in the jute fiber. Khatton et al [33] also found that similar to this study, PO 4 salttreated jute fabrics inhibited the flame progression during the vertical flame test, where char length was measured. With an increase in chemical concentration, the char length decreased indicating that the flame-retardant characteristics were integrated within the jute fabric.…”

“…For example, Jafrin et al found that 10% rot-retardant treatment with CuSO 4 solution performed better in increasing the longevity of jute-based nursery pots [32]. Furthermore, Khatton et al [33] demonstrated that 30% fire retardant salt (NH4) 2 •HPO4) produced the best fire-retardant characteristics in jute without significantly compromising the mechanical properties. The literature also suggested that 16% PVC solution showed better response as a water-resistant jute product [34] and that is why 10%, 15%, and 20% chemical concentrations were used in this investigation.…”
