Silica incorporated cellulose fibres as green concept for textiles with reduced flammability

• Incorporation of silica reduces flammability viscose fibres. Wash permanency can be improved by formation aluminium silicate. Dyeability aluminosilicate modified fibres remains unchanged. Silica residues remain during combustion and act as a barrier for oxygen. forms green approach to flame retardant textiles. Safety requirements led widespread use textile products with reduced flammability. The global production nearly 3 million tons retardants generates substantial environmental burden both synthesis the chemicals disposal waste In this work cleaner technology impart is presented, which bases on incorporation 20%wt into cellulose fibre matrix stage formation. Stabilisation against unwanted leaching washing procedures was achieved treatment aluminate, reacts under less soluble aluminosilicate. This successfully combined reactive dyeing step where no precipitation dyes, losses in colour depth or fastness dyeings occurred. Substantial reduction time afterglowing (-82%) length destroyed material (-90%) were observed standard tests ignitability bedclothes. regenerated offers alternative rather polluting finishing processes used today. these particular value worn next skin, irritating skin avoided.
