Abstract
Cotton fabric treated with the solution of poly (vinyl chloride) containing dispersed metalethylenediamine complexes (abbreviated as metal-(en)-PVC complexes). These samples were studied using the flammability test method JIS-L1091. After flame and glow, char length and char area of untreated cotton and cotton fabrics treated with metal-(en)-PVC complexes and PVC were evaluated. These results clearly indicate the metal-(en)-PVC complexes increases the flame retardance of cotton fabric.
