Low Flammability Manmade Fibres - Obtaining and Investigation

Abstract

Mechanism of action of various groups of chemical compounds used as addition in the production of low flammability fibres (viscose, polyester polyamide, polyacrylonitrile, polypropylene) is presented. Also heat-resistant fibres are refifered to and a survey of standardized methods for investigation of inflammability and combustibility of fibres and textile fabrics is given.
