Özet

This paper presents the use of natural structured flame retardant (FR) agent in padding treatment to confer a fire-resistant character to polyester fabrics. The flame retardant agent was obtained from limestone and consisted of any industrial additives and chemical materials. The surface of treated polyester fabric was characterized by FT-IR (ATR) and (SEM). The fire retardant character of the treated fabrics was investigated by LOI measurements. The flame retardancy effect and melt dripping behaviors of FR agent were also investigated. Washing resistances of padded fabrics were examined. According to the results, it was observed that there was a 39.5 % increase in the LOI value and treated polyester fabric was burned in a long time and without dripping.
