Abstract
ABSTRACT The application of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is restricted due to its high flammability and dripping phenomenon. This paper used bio-based phytic acid (PA) and gelatine (G) for flame retardant and anti-dripping treatment of PET fabric. The coated PET fabric achieved a limiting oxygen index (LOI) value greater than 29.5% and no dripping phenomenon revealing that its flame retardancy and anti-dripping properties were obviously improved. The LOI value of PA/G coated PET fabric after washing was over 26% showing good washing durability. The PA/G coating could change the starting decomposition stability and the degradation process of PET fabric and promote to form the stable char. PA/G coating formed an intumescent flame retardant (IFR) system on PET fabric to act through the IFR mechanism. This research is expected to result in a novel eco-friendly coating for flame retardant and anti-dripping thermoplastic polyester fabric.
期刊介绍:
Surface Engineering provides a forum for the publication of refereed material on both the theory and practice of this important enabling technology, embracing science, technology and engineering. Coverage includes design, surface modification technologies and process control, and the characterisation and properties of the final system or component, including quality control and non-destructive examination.
