摘要
We have investigated the effect of magnesium chloride hexahydrate [MgCl2 center dot 6H(2)O] as a nondurable finish on the flammability of 100% woven cotton fabric, (plain construction, with a density of 144 g m(-2), the number of yarns 21/10 mm). The laundered bone-dried, massed fabrics were impregnated with suitable concentrations of aqueous solution of the above-mentioned salt, by means of squeeze rolls. They were then dried horizontally in an oven at 110 degrees C for 30 min. The optimum add-on value after the fulfillment of vertical flame spread test to donate flame-retardancy onto cotton fabric was obtained to be in the range of 6.73-8.30 g of the salt per 100 g fabric. Thermogravimetry (TG) of pure cotton, treated cotton and the salt was accomplished, and their TG curves were compared and commented. The results obtained are in favor of the 'gas dilution theory', chemical action theory and also in compliance with the 'free radical theory'. The formation of sal ammoniac was proven by sprinkling concentrated ammonia upon the inflamed treated specimen.
