Reach on P/N Type Intumescent Flame Retardant for Polyester Fabric

Abstract:

An intumescent flame retardant (IFR) containing phosphorus and APP was applied to polyester fabric. The finishing process was optimized and the properties of treated fabric were characterized. The optimum process was as follows: the total dosage of IFR system was 40%, the mass ratio of phosphorus-containing flame retardants and APP was 7:3, and curing temperature was 180°C. The treated PET fabrics imparted good resistance to melt drop. Characterization of the thermo-gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) indicated that much more residual char with intumescent structure, the incombustible gas and water were formed during combustion of flame retardant polyester fabric, whose decomposition temperature was lower compared to that of the untreated sample.
