Flame Retardant for Cotton

Product Information

Saraflam-DUR is an organo phosphorous durable flame retardant for 100% cellulosic fibres such as cotton and regeneratred cellulosic fibres like viscose,modal,tencel. Saraflam-DUR chemically reacts with these fibres thereby imparting durable flame retardency which can withstand several launderings and dry cleanings. Saraflam-DUR does not affect the drape of the fabric and does not leave any white residue on the fabric thus minimum effect on shade. 

Saraflam-DUR can also be combined with other finishing agents. Saraflam-DUR prevents flame propagation in presence of fire. It is recommended for home textiles, industrial textiles and apparels.

Application
Before finishing with Saraflam-DUR, please ensure that the fabric is free from residues of earlier treatment which could otherwise hamper the performance of Saraflam-DUR 
Saraflam-DUR 400-600 g/l
Saraprint AC (M)/ Saralink-ULF 70-100 g/l
Phosphoric acid 80% 20-25 g/l
IPA 2-5 g/l
Saralube-2975 20-40 g/l
Pick-up 70-80% (2 dip-2 nip)
Drying 100-110 deg.C
Curing 150 deg.C, 5 min.

Please ensure that the padding temperature does not exceed 30 deg.C 

Note
  • After finishing, the fabric has to be washed with 10-20 g/l soda ash (pH maintained at 9-10) to neutralise phosphoric acid and unreacted Saraflam-DUR followed by rinsing in plain water twice or thrice.
  • Final pH of fabric should be 6.5-7 before drying.
  • Dry add-on of minimum 25-30% ensures required performance
  • Flame retardency depends upon actual add-on of Saraflam-DUR on the finished fabric, therefore lab trials are recommended to arrive at required dosage 

Saraflam-DUR is recommended for following test methods. 

  1. ISO 15025:2016 and also complies ISO 11612: 2015, ISO 14116:2015 
  2. BS 3119 (1959) Vertical flame test 
  3. BS 5852 Cigarette bud test for upholstery 
  4. BS 5852 Part 1 (1979), BS 5651 (1978) for upholstery 
  5. ASTM D6413 has been adopted from Federal Test Standard No.191A method 5903.1
Precautions

Storage : Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature  should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.
