Flame retard finishing of Cotton fabric with Phosphorous compounds

In the presence of heat and oxygen, phosphorous compounds decompose to form water vapor and phosphorous oxides. The phosphorous oxides subsequently reat with the polymer matrix and dehydrate it, reforming phosphoric acids. These acids again decompose to reform water vapor and phosphorous oxides. Ultimately as the water available from normal combustion of hydrocarbons diminishes, the phosphorous oxide reat with hydrocarbon fragments to produce a very high melting point char at the interface between the polymer and the heat material. The chars, which contain phosphorous, rapidly dissipate heat energy and lose their glow. This antiglow property of phosphorous compound contributes to its availability as a flame retardant. In this study, the acrylated phosphorous compounds will be prepared and demonstrated as flame retardants.
