Flame-resistant cotton fabrics have been prepared by treatment of the fabric with an aqueous emulsion of an organic polymer, prepared from bromoform and triallyl phosphate. The finish is durable to repeated laundering, and when applied with proper plasticization to fabrics of 8-9-oz weight does not materially change other textile properties. The treatment may be applied on conventional textile finishing equipment.
