Development of Fireproof Textile Materials Safe on Contact with Human Skin

Abstract

The issues of obtaining fireproof textile materials that do not cause negative effects upon contact with human skin using surface treatment are covered. The basic formulations of the compositions most frequently used to produce fireproof fabrics are considered. The possibility of developing a composition with optimal properties based on well-known flame retardants by selecting the type and amounts of stabilizers has been studied. The optimal formulation of a flame-retardant impregnating composition is developed, providing resistance to ignition and safe when in contact with human skin. The results of experimental studies of fabrics treated with the developed composition are given, namely: assessment of ignition resistance, smoke-forming ability, toxicity of combustion products, toxicological and hygienic characteristics of the effects on a living organism.
