Abstract
This study was to develop the flame retardant (FR) protective clothing which had multifunction such anti-bacterial, UV cut, FR function with water repellent and water vapor permeable laminating textiles for industrial workers. First of all, the FR yarn and FR textiles were developed for this purpose. Second, the comparison analysis between the halogen laminating textiles and halogen-free laminating textiles were tested to figure out the eco-friendly laminating method. Third, the flame retardant ability was compared the halogen laminated textiles to halogen-free laminated textiles. LOI, UV protection ratio, antibiosis after 50 laundry test, water proof pressure, and moisture permeability of developed textiles were tested. GC-HR-TOF-MS was used for analysis of laminating film (halogen and halogen-free). 4.1 wt% TiO2 yarn showed antibacterial function (Pneumococcus & Staphylococcus aureus: 99.9%), UV Protection (UVA: 90.8, UVB: 92.1), and LOI (33.6). The chosen optimal compounding ratio for PU compound of HRF and HFFR were as followed: PU resin 58.3%, DMF (Dimethyl formamide, δ = 12.2) 8.3%, MEK (Methylethylketone) 8.3% and FR (flame retardants) 25.0%. Binder for laminating should not be included over 10% of FRs because of adhesion between textiles and FR laminating film. There were detected phosphorus compounds in the textiles treated by halogenated type flame retardants and halogenated-free type flame retardants. There were not any detected harmful compounds from all textile samples.

The importance of the FR textiles management has been gradually increasing because the Act on safety management about installation and management of fire-fighting facilities, fire retardant requirement and standards for flame retardant products has been reinforced since 2008 [2] [3]

(2014) Risk Points of Flame Retardant Textiles by Halogen and Halogen-Free Laminating Film. H. Shin toxic gases have been always potentially exposed to toxic pyrogenic thermal stress and impact of a fatalaccident, so that the risk factors for them are high. The importance of the FR textiles management has been gradually increasing because the Act on safety management about installation and management of fire-fighting facilities, fire retardant requirement and standards for flame retardant products has been reinforced since 2008 [2] [3]. Special flame-retardant protective clothing for workers working in hazardous environment and fire-fighters were required [4]
