Abstract

Cotton fabrics were treated with tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride-urea precondensate via pad-dry-ammonia curing to reduce the flammability of the fabrics. Optimum finishing conditions were investigated for durable flame retardancy including the physical properties such as tensile strength and color fastness to washing. The fabrics treated by this technique showed excellent durable flame resistance, higher tensile strength, and a slightly lower tearing strength in comparison with the untreated fabric.
