Abstract
Over the years, technologies have been used for the development of various textile products to meet the consumer demands in different fields as per their end-use specifications. The market sustainability of each new product mainly depends on the raw material as well as its functionality. A functional finishing dictates the end-use of the products as well as enhances the life of the products. There are important historical and economic reasons for the fact that, the science and technology of flame retardant for cellulose fibres are more advanced than for other fibres and polymers. Until perhaps 25 years ago, an overwhelming proportion of all textiles used were made of cellulose fibres. Jute is one of the important natural cellulosic fibers and used for diversified product. Similar to cotton, jute fiber has the potential to impart different functionality by different chemical finishing for its diversification. This project has been taken to improve the flameproof property of jute fabrics. Jute fabrics were treated with Di-Ammonium Hydrogen Phosphate by various concentrations under certain condition. The study was conducted at the Industrial Chemistry Department, Chemistry Division, Textile Physics Division and Pilot Plant and Processing Division of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute, Dhaka, Bangladesh during 2017-2019. It was found that desized jute fabric gives the best flame proofed (Completely resistance to both after flaming and after glowing) than the sized jute fabrics without undesirable loss of the tensile strength.
Highlights
Jute is the main cash crop of Bangladesh for its unique properties like high strength, rough handling and environment friendly
The same process when applied to vegetable fibres including the lignocellulosic fibres like jute gives similar effect without impairing the tensile strength of the fibre material. [8] reported that ammonium salts of bromine, chlorine and iodine are effective in the prevention of after flaming and Science Journal of Energy Engineering 2019; 7(4): 63-66 phosphoric acid & its sodium and ammonium salts are effective in the prevention of after glowing of the textile fabrics [9]
Size and desized jute fabrics were treated with flame proof solution of selected fire retardant chemicals under certain condition
Summary
Jute is the main cash crop of Bangladesh for its unique properties like high strength, rough handling and environment friendly. Due to inroads of synthetics, the use of jute as packaging materials has been decreased [2] [8] reported that ammonium salts of bromine, chlorine and iodine are effective in the prevention of after flaming and Science Journal of Energy Engineering 2019; 7(4): 63-66 phosphoric acid & its sodium and ammonium salts are effective in the prevention of after glowing of the textile fabrics [9]. They observed that bromination of jute imparts a fire- resistance property which is handicapped by excessive after glowing and some strength loss. This study was designed to find out textile finishing and proofing process for imparting flameproof finishes to jute fabric for diversified textile uses of jute
