Abstract
Light weight cotton and 50/50 polyester/cotton fabrics were treated with various concentrations of the Caliban F/R P-44 and an N-methylol triazone or a triazine using a pad-dry-cure technique to impart ignition resistance and durable press properties. The Caliban retardant is based on decabromobiphenyl oxide and antimony oxide. Treatments containing the triazone were best suited for the cotton fabric, whereas treatments containing the triazine were best suited for the polyester/cotton fabric. Fabrics were produced which exhibited wrinkle recovery angles of about 300 degree (W plus F), appearance ratings of 4. 5, and surface ignition resistance to 3 and 12 second exposure to a 7/8 in. flame.
