Cotton fiber flammability treatment

Wool Wool, though not as flammable as cotton, still needs flame retardation for specific applications, e.g., carpets, upholstered furniture in transport, etc. Ammonium phosphates and polyphosphate, boric acid-borax, and ammonium bromide can be successfully used in nondurable FR finishes for wool. Various commercial products have been reviewed by Horrocks.3 The most successful durable treatment for wool is Zirpro, developed by Benisek, which involves exhaustion of negatively charged complexes of zirconium or titanium onto positively charged wool fibers under acidic conditions at 60°C. The treatment can be applied to wool at any processing stage from loose fiber to fabric using exhaustion techniques. [Pg.741]
