Flame retardant viscose fibre

摘要

Viscose fiber is a manufactured regenerated cellulose fiber with almost the same structure as cellulose. As a result, it contributes more properties similar to those of natural cellulosic fibers, such as cotton and linen, than those of petroleum-based synthetic fibers, such as nylon and polyester fiber. These excellent properties include a silk-like aesthetic with superb drape and feel, moisture absorbance, breathability, ease of dyeing in vivid colors, wear comfort, and moderate dry strength and abrasion resistance. Unfortunately, as a cellulosic fiber, viscose fiber is apt to burn, which restricts its wider application. Thus the manufacture of fire retardant viscose fiber is necessary. Many researchers have studied the fire retardant property of viscose fiber by blending, finishing and chemical modification with fire retardant compound.
