Abstract:

The addition of hagogen-containing flame retardant was usually introduced to the treatment of textiles in conventional methods, which had a limited application due to its serious influence on environment. Based on new processes of flame retardant coation focused researchers both at home and abroad, the new technologies of coatings recently developed in the textle field for flame retardant properties to naturat or synthetic fibers and fabrics, such as sol-gel process, layer by layer assembly and biomacromolecule deposition were reviewed. The specific process and the latest advances of flame retardant fabrics were elaborated. Compared to sol-gel process and layer by layer assembly technologies, the research of biomacromolecule deposition is relative few, but it provides a new sustainable route for the flame retardant finishing of textile materials, and puts forward the new approach of the flame retardant coatings to fabrics.

Key words: flame retardant, coating, sol-gel process, layer by layer assembly, biomacromolecule deposition
