Abstract:

In order to improve the flame retardancy and durability of cotton fabrics, halogen-free durable flame retardant cotton fabrics were prepared by applying phosphorylation modification with NH4H2PO4 and urea as the raw materials. The effects of the molar ratio of the raw materials, reaction time and reaction temperature on the grafting rate and whiteness of flame-retardant cotton fabrics were studied. The optimum finishing process was identified to be 90 min reaction time, 130 ℃ reaction temperature, 1∶2.5∶15 raw material mole ratio among dehydrated glucose unit (AGU), NH4H2PO4 and urea. The flame-retardancy, washing resistance and mechanical properties of fabrics were studied The limit oxygen index (LOI) of the flame retardant cotton fabric was increased from 18% to 50.9%, reaching the noncombustible level. After 800 ℃ thermal decomposition, the carbon residue increased to 40.0%, showing excellent thermal stability. At the same time, after 30 standard washing tests, the LOI value can still reach 28.5%, which shows good washing resistance. This method can be used to achieve efficient and durable flame-retardancy of cotton fabrics.
