Abstract
It has been worked with textile fabrics of Acrylic 100 % , that have as final use the Tapestry, this fabrics have been impregnated with a two products flame retardant: Commercial Retardant, which is formed by a combination of a resin polymeric and acid phosphoric and Borax (Na2B4O5(OH)4.8H2O) with Sodium Hexametaphosphate (Na16P14O43). These Retardants has the advantage of the fact that it can be applied to the substrates mixed with water in the relation 1:1, 1:2 or pure. In order to reduce the flammability, Textile fabrics are coated with flame retardants. The flame retardant capabilities, mechanical properties and structural characteristics of the textile fabrics before and after the use of these products were investigated throughout the special textile methods for inflammability and mechanical resistibility. After the use of the flame retardants the mechanical properties of the fabrics were improved or at least remained the same as compared to fabrics without any treatment. The use of Borax / Sodium Hexametaphosphate /Water results in the essential increase of combustion retardation time about 2 minutes as compared with 8 seconds for untreated fabrics.
Highlights
Flame retardants in their various forms have been used in passive protection of timber and other building materials, including metal structures in many textiles and synthetic fibers, as well in a wide variety of technical applications of plastics, mainly in the electronics industry [1,2]

Two flame retardant products based on Borax and Sodium Hexametaphosphate was used in order to coat textile fabrics with the composition 100% acrylic
Summary
Flame retardants in their various forms have been used in passive protection of timber and other building materials, including metal structures in many textiles and synthetic fibers, as well in a wide variety of technical applications of plastics, mainly in the electronics industry [1,2]. Flame retardants can be incorporated into a material either as active or as additives ones. The active components are incorporated into the polymeric structure of some types of plastics. This method is preferred because it produces more stable and uniform properties. They have the disadvantage to modify the properties of base materials. This is the case of the polybrominated flame retardants, which usually of view are applied as coatings or mix during the processing of materials such as plastics and fibers [3,4]
