Abstract

This study focuses on the application of environmental-friendly flame
retardant (FR) finishing which does not include formaldehyde or halogen based
chemicals on cotton fabrics since it has been announced that these kinds of
materials have environmental and toxicological hazards. Three different types
of FR agents were used in the finishing bath and applied on raw, pre-treated
and dyed cotton fabrics, respectively. One of them was the mixture of inorganic
and organic salts while the other type was chosen as phosphate structured which
have a commercial use in textile industry widely in order to compare the flame
retardant effects on cotton. The third type was calcium carbonate based
chemical produced in Balıkesir Turkey named Firetex. After finishing treatment
of all types of FRs, performance tests as burning tests and color spectrums
were carried out beside the characterization tests as SEM and FTIR-ATR
analysis. In order to determine the washing durability of the cotton fabrics,
each performance test was performed after 5 repeated washing cycle.  According to the results, it was observed
that both three types of flame retardant agents improved the flame retardant
effect of cotton fabrics however the char length of cotton fabric which treated
with Firetex was lower than the rest and it was indicated in the study that
using natural structured FR could be a new area in green chemistry as a FR
textile chemical.
