“…Burning smoke, as a consequence of char formation, was observed. The char formation is an indication of phosphorus containing residue on the surface of the sample (Tsafack & Levalois-Grützmacher, 2006a). The compound decomposed to polyphosphoric acid when heated and formed a viscous surface layer.…”

“…Phosphorous-based compounds are the most extensively used (H. Yang & C. Yang, 2005) (Gaan & Sun, 2007), (Wu & C. Yang, 2007), (Horrocks & Price, 2001). For natural fiber textiles, a number of studies focus on flame retardant property of cotton fabrics (Reddy et al, 2005), (Wu & C. Yang, 2006), (Tsafack & Levalois-Grützmacher, 2006) and silk fabrics (Achwal et al, 1987), (Kako & Katayama, 1995), (Guan et al, 2009). It was shown that a high level of flame retardancy could be achieved when silk fabric was treated by a reaction mixture of urea and phosphoric acid through pad/dry process (Achwal et al, 1987).…”

It has been worked with textile fabrics of Acrylic 100% , that have as final use the Tapestry, this fabrics have been impregnated with a two products flame retardant: Commercial Retardant, which is formed by a combination of a resin polymeric and acid phosphoric and Borax (Na 2 B 4 O 5 (OH) 4 •8H 2 O) with Sodium Hexametaphosphate (Na 16 P 14 O 43 ). These Retardants has the advantage of the fact that it can be applied to the substrates mixed with water in the relation 1:1, 1:2 or pure. In order to reduce the flammability, Textile fabrics are coated with flame retardants. The flame retardant capabilities, mechanical properties and structural characteristics of the textile fabrics before and after the use of these products were investigated throughout the special textile methods for inflammability and mechanical resistibility. After the use of the flame retardants the mechanical properties of the fabrics were improved or at least remained the same as compared to fabrics without any treatment. The use of Borax / Sodium Hexametaphosphate /Water results in the essential increase of combustion retardation time about 2 minutes as compared with 8 seconds for untreated fabrics.

“…However, it is also one of the most flammable materials. 2 Nowadays the flame-retardancy finishing of cotton fabrics is becoming necessary to improve human safety under many circumstances. Most of the efforts in the area of textile flame-retardancy finishing have been focused on reducing the flammability of cotton fabric.…”

We have investigated the effect of zinc oxide as a photocatalyst and durable flame-retardant on cellulosic fibers. Zinc oxide nanocrystals were successfully synthesized and deposited onto cellulosic fibers using sol-gel process at low temperature. The samples were characterized by means of several techniques such as scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetric analysis. The photocatalytic activity was tested by measuring the photodegradation of methylene blue under UV-Vis illumination. Moreover, flame-retardancy was tested by vertical flame spread test. The optimum add-on value for donating flame-retardancy onto cellulosic fabric was obtained to be in the range of 15.24 to 23.20 g of the ZnO per 100 g of fabric. Thermogravimetric analysis of pure and flame-retarded samples were accomplished and discussed. The results obtained are in agreement with Wall effect theory and Coating theory. The originality of this work on introducing photoactive flame-retarded fibers is highly valuable for industrial implementation.
