“…P( 0) .CH,CH,.CO.N H .CH,OH, to raise the LO1 above 0.25 and possibly create 'selfextinguishing' behaviour. Obviously, the bromine influences the burning behaviour of polyester in the blend in a similar manner to that observed following the application of TH PC and 'tris' [395,404,430].…”

“…(cH,oH) phorus content required to create a given level of flame retardancy and so would lower total finish add-on and accompanying fabric stiffness. Introduction of bromine, via bromination of alkyl groups in a reactive unsaturated phosphonate, achieved this end [430]. Whilst bromine present in the polyester component was more effective in protecting the blend than if applied to the cellulose component (as with 'tris' for example), in cotton-rich blends sufficient bromine (5-8%) may be introduced by post-bromination of the unsaturated phosphonate, (CH, = CH .CH,O),.…”

The need for flame‐retardant finishing of textiles is examined in the context of the hazards of textile flammability, associated legislation and procedures for assessing textile burning behaviour. The functions of flame‐retardant finishes and durable finishes developed specifically for cellulose, wool and man‐made fibres are described in depth. Multipurpose finishes for both cellulose and wool textiles in which flame retardancy is only one property conferred on the textile are examined. Fibre blends present a particular problem and special attention is paid to discussing those finishes applied to polyester/cotton blended fabrics. The laundering behaviour and consequent finish durability are reviewed. In addition, the effects that applying flame‐retardant finishes have on textile properties and performance are considered. Recent developments in methods used to apply flame‐retardant finishes are outlined.

“…Flame-retardant (FR) finishes are essential to reduce flame propagation, hence to achieve FR properties (Horrocks, 1986;Tesoro et al, 1972). The FR finishing of fabrics can be divided into wash-resistant or non-wash-resistant finishing, depending on the end-use application.…”

“…However, since both the acetate and nylon components melt when exposed to heat [21], scaffolding is not expected to be the major effect. Tesoro and Rivlin [27] evaluated the flammability of blends composed of all thermoplastic fibers with the Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI) and vertical burning test. Their results indicated that Nomex/polyester and Nomex/Verel blends showed similar anomalous burning behavior such as those observed in PET/cotton blends.…”

SYNOPSISThe effect of ambient air flow on the burning behavior of thirty-one fabrics varying in fiber type, fabric construction and weight, was evaluated with an isoperibol calorimeter. An extensive calibration was carried out at five (5) different air flow rates ranging from 4 to 15 cm/sec, to verify the response of the calorimeter as theoretically predicted.Results on the heat release and the residue yield of the fabrics, at four (4) different flow rates, indicated that varying ambient air flow has significantly different effects on the burning of these fabrics, depending on their fiber content. Furthermore, results, in most cases, are interpretable in terms of a simplified cyclic model of burning and existing knowledge on the degradation and combustion behavior of the fibers involved.
