Wallpaper has been used for decorating wall with multifarious patterns and colors. Ignition characteristic of wallpapers depends upon the types of wallpapers and their components. Since the wallpaper is made of flammable cellulose fibers diverse materials are being used as flame retardant in producing wallpapers. In this paper the ignition characteristics wallpapers prepared with three different fillers and pretreated polyester fibers were examined. Also the effect of calendering on ignition characteristics was investigated. Commercial papers were used for checking the effect of calendering on the ignition characteristics of treated paper In this experiments, guanidine sulfomate was used as flame retardant.
