Claims. (Cl. 117-137) (Granted under Title 35, US. Code (1952), see. 266) droxymethyl phosphonium chloride THPCFBT 'odi fiame-resistance imparting properties for cotton fabrics and other textiles. It is also known that a combination of 'IHPC and tris-l-aziridinyl phosphine oxide (APO) renders cotton or other fabrics flame resistant.
- APO, by itself, when applied to a fabric in an aqueous bath, does not improve the flame resistance of the fabric.
We attribute this to the fact that monomeric APO does not sufliciently polymerize. Inasmuch as THPC is a relatively expensive chemical, we have endeavored to develop a flame resistant textile finishing composition which does not contain THPC.
We have now discovered that an aqueous solution of APO when applied to a cotton or other fabric in the presence of diammonium phosphate (DAP) in certain specified proportions, results in a flame resistant fabric which retains its flame resistance even after repeated launde'rings. Without limiting ourselves to any particular theory underlying this unexpected result, we presently believe that the diammonium phosphate acts as a polymerization catalyst for the APO and enables it to form a polymer in situ on and between the fibers of the fabric, when cured above room temperature.
Inasmuch as diammonium phosphate is a very inexpensive chemical, such a composition is more economical than a composition of THPC and APO as active ingredients.
It is accordingly an object of our invention to provide an economical and efiicient flame resistance imparting treatment for fabrics, which can be carried out with conventional textile padding and curing equipment, without noxious fumes and without the need for specially trained personnel.
Another object of our invention is an economical flame resistance imparting textile finish which in its preferred form retains its eficiency after repeated launderings.
Other objects and advantages of our invention will readily occur to the expert from the following description of several preferred methods and compositions for carrying our invention into practice.
Our research has shown that a flame resistant textile finish is provided by an aqueous solution of diammonium phosphate and APO, wherein the APO is present in a proportion of at least 1 to 6 parts by weight per 1 part by weight of diammonium phosphate, the strength of the solution being at least about 5 percent APO. The finish is laundry-fast if the APO concentration is at least about 15 percent. The strength of the solution may be raised above 15 percent APO; however, above percent no appreciable increase in flame resistance and laundry resistance occurs. In a presently preferred embodiment of our invention, the combined aqueous solution contains 5 percent (or more) diammonium phosphate and about HVUU ill-i LIN-HUI- RUUiw 3,085,029 Patented Apr. 9, 1963 2 15-20 percent (in a preferred embodiment 18.2 percent) APO Padding of the fabric is effected for a substantial wet pick-up, say of the order of 5575 percent, which after drying and curing corresponds to a dry weight add-on of about 4-15 percent of APO polymer (preferably above 7 percent), depending on the strength of the solution in terms of APO contents.
Where laundry resistance is not of the essence, the APO strength of the bath may be reduced to about 5 percent strength level; however, for laundry-fastness, an APO strength of about 15 percent or more is needed.
It is neither necessary nor desirable that the diammonium phosphate be present in the solution in an amount exceeding that of the APO. To facilitate wet pick-up, a small amount of a commercial Wetting agent, as for instance Triton X-l00 may be added to the solution; however, this is optional.
After the fabric is removed from the bath, it is dried and cured above room temperature by a one-step or plural-step exposure to an elevated temperature which is non-injurious to the fabric; say drying at about 250 F. and curing of the dried fabric at about 300 F. to produce the APO polymer in situ. Obviously, these two steps can be combined, e.g., by drying and curing step at about 250-300" F.
We now proceed .to illustrate the practice of our invention by giving several examples.
EXAMPLE 1 Fifty yards of 8.5 oz. cotton sateen cloth (Military Specification MIL-012095) was padded through a bath containing 5% diammonium phosphate and 18.2% APO in the following bath formulation:
The wet pick-up was The fabric was dried at 250 F. for two minutes and cured at 300 F. for five minutes. The weight of the treated fabric, including the resin finish formed in situ thereon was 10% above the weight of the untreated fabric. The treated fabric was subdivided into several identical lengths, some of these identical samples were submitted to laundering at predetermined numbers of cycles. The flame resistance and tear resistance of the treated fabric (unlaundered and laundered) were determined by a standard method, using a vertical Bunsen burner in accordance with Textile Testing Method 5902 {Federal Specification CCC-T- 191b, Textile Test Methods, dated May 15, 1951). Afterfiame and after-glow were measured in seconds, and the char length in inches. The following table summarizes the results obtained:

In a run with a solution of 10% APO and 10% diammonium phosphate for a wet pick-up of 65.5% and a resin add-on (dry weight) of the finished fabric of 10.5%, fiarne resistance was imparted as follows: after-flame 0 seconds, after-glow 1 second, char length 3.9. This is quiet acceptable. However, after repeated launderings (3 cycles) the flame resistance was lost. A similar result was obtained with a solution containing 10% APO and 5% diarnmonium phosphate (dry add-on 7%).
In two control experiments with 5% APO, and 5 and 10% diammonium phosphate, respectively (resin add-on dry weight, 4.4 and 6.7%, respectively), initial flame resistance was similar to that imparted by the just-described bath containing 10% APO but the flame resistance did not survive a one-cycle laundering.
While the foregoing examples are in terms of cotton fabrics, the invention can also be practiced with other cellulosic or non-cellulosic fibrous materials such as rayon, wool and the like, to reduce their flammability.
In order to substantiate the synergistic effect of our fabric finishing composition, and to determine whether diammonium phosphate is retained therein before and after laundering, we have applied the same with the use of diammonium phosphate, containing radioactive phosphorus (P An 8.5 oz. cotton sateen fabric was immersed in a bath containing 5% diarnmonium phosphate only, the phosphorus component of which was radioactive P The fabric was squeezed, oven dried at 100 C. (212 PI), and cured for five minutes at 140 C. (284 F). Using a beta-particle counter, it was found that only 6.95% of the radio active diammonium phosphate was retained after four cold water rinses.
The same type of cotton fabric was then immersed in a bath containing 5% radioactive diarnmoniurn phosphate and 18% APO. The fabric was oven dried at 100 C. and cured for five minutes at 140 C. After four cold water rinses the fabric was found by the betaparticle counter to contain 43.6% of the original radioactive diamrnoniurn phosphate. The fabric was then given four hot water rinses and was found by the same technique to contain 40.5% of the original radioactive diarnmoniurn phosphate. After boiling for one-half hour in soap and soda ash (2% soap and .l% soda ash), the fabric was found by the same technique to have retained 36.6% of the original radioactive diammonium phosphate.
These results indicate that phosphorus from the diammonium phosphate is firmly retained in the APO finish produced in the presence of diammonium phosphate after repeated hot water laundering, while diammonium phosphate, applied by itself, is easily rinsed out by laundermg.
Having thus described the principle of our invention,
and several methods for carrying the same into practice, we wish it to be understood that specific operating data set forth in such examples are to be taken as illustrative only and not for the purpose of limiting the scope of our invention thereto, inasmuch as a number of variations and modifications will readily ocur to the expert without departing from the spirit of our invention. We thus intend to claim our invention broadly and to that end define the same by the appended claims.
