Investigation of Boric Acid and Sodium Borate Effect on Flame Retardancy of Cotton and Polyester Fabrics

Abstract

In this study, cotton and polyester fabrics were added non-flammability properties based on the padding method by using flame-retardant finishing (Ruco-Flam CK) in addition to boric acid and sodium borate. The purpose of the study is to investigate the effects of boric acid and sodium borate on flame-retardancy in cotton and polyester fabrics. The effects of these chemicals used in varying concentrations on cotton and polyester fabrics and after washing the permanence of flame retardant agents were investigated with vertical burning test standard.
