So, a
massive portion of industrial textile has been involved in developing protective clothing.
The main challenge in flame retardant clothing is to make them comfortable to wear as
well as environment friendly and non-toxic.
Flame retardancy gives safety from flames in an unsafe area or environment. Generally,
firefighters and other emergency personnel need flame retardant garments. In public
buildings, upholstery, floor coverings, etc. need protection. There is a lot of military
application of flame retardancy.
To make a fiber flame retardant, this circle needs to be disrupted. This can be done by
the following methods –
Aluminum hydroxide or Alumina trihydrate and Calcium carbonate are used as coatings
in the fiber for this method.
Endothermic Decomposition Reaction
Reactive chemicals are combined with crease-resist resins in the modern flame
retardant finishing.
Flame retardant fabrics are chemically treated with a particular chemical that provides
non-flammability.
In the pad-dry-cure process, THPC reacts with urea and form an insoluble structure on
cellulose.
As dehydration and carbonization decrease the formation Not very beneficial and it chang
of burnable volatiles, it is very effective. 2 properties hugely.
It can be applied to mainly cellulose and wool. 3 It can be applied to all kinds
A multi-step process is required for durable flame Only viscosity control is necessary
retardancy. 4 simple.
Formaldehyde emits during curing and finishing and Antimony oxide and organic halog
phosphorus compounds in wastewater. 5 the primary concern.
