Most of the approaches to produce flame retardant (FR) cotton-based nonwovens are not durable to washing. For some of the applications, wash durability is desired, and we are conducting research to develop some durable or semi-durable FR treatments in an economical way. The approach is to produce cotton nonwoven webs using a binder fiber, going through the through-air bonding process, and treating them with commercially available FR chemicals and binders. It is important to select the right combination of flame retardants and binders such that some degree of permanency can be achieved. These treated webs have been evaluated for their FR characteristics before and after washing. Both, selected FR chemical and the binder, have an effect on the durability of the produced webs. A model is being developed to understand these effects, so that it can help in selecting the best combination for optimum FR performance. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
