In this study, the flame retardancy, physical properties, and the thermal behavior, phosphorus and nitrogen contents of cotton fabrics finished with incorporating some additive was investigated.
Breaking strength was almost constant for all treated fabrics, but tearing strength was decreased as the conc. of treating solution was increased, and the fabric treated with 40% and 35% solution lost 36% of it's original tearing strength.
Dry flex abrasion strength was remarkably decreased and sample treated with 40%, solution retained 38.5% of it's original strength.
It shows that if the fabric treated with above 35% solution of THPC-Urea (mole ratio 1:1), it is to be passed DOC FF 3∼71 flame test.
Generally, the monsanto's crease resistance of all treated fabrics was increased.
TGA analysis shows that the temperature of initial weight loss of treated fabrics were lower than that of untreated fabric by about 80-100℃ and major weight loss temperature was also lower about 40℃. The weight of the residues left at 500℃ for flameretardant finished fabrics were much larger.
Phosphorus and nitrogen content of treated fabric was increased as the conc. of treating solution, and decreased against number of washes. It phosphorus content was above 3% or nitrogen content was above 2.7%, it is to be passed DOC FF 3-71 flame test.
