The reaction of Fyrol 76, an oligomeric vinylphosphonate, with various low molecular weight polyethylenimines was used to deposit a flame-retarding finish in cotton fabric. The balance of textile performance properties was found to be quite attractive, but durability of the finish was deficient. Results are pertinent to development of an understanding of the relationship between structure of the flame-retarding finish and textile performance properties of the chemically modified cotton fabric.
