Abstract
The production of textile materials with reduced flammability is a research goal necessitated by the desire to reduce accidental burnings, as well as the need to meet increasingly strong legislative regulations. Cotton is normally a flammable material. A suitable fire-retardant treatment must give the fabric resistance to flaming and afterglow without detracting from the desirable natural properties of the cotton fiber. Generally, phosphorus-containing materials are very effective fire retardants. In situ polymerization of phosphorus-containing polymers on the surface and within a fiber is a practical means of imparting some degree of fire-retardancy.Tris(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium hydroxide (THPOH) can be formed from the reaction of tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride with sodium hydroxide.
