Abstract (en)

Aqueous compositions for imparting flame retardant properties comprising an inorganic halide, an oxide of antimony having an average particle size no greater than 2.0 mu m, a binding agent, a plasticiser and a surface modifier. The invention provides flame retardant properties without significant discolouring of fabric dyes and without causing undue stiffness to the treated fabric. The aqueous based composition provides flame retardancy throughout the material treated, requiring relatively short curing time and providing a clear finish. In a preferred process according to the invention, the composition is applied in the final stage of a fabric printing process, for example in a finishing bath.
