Abstract

The main purpose of this work is to enhance the flame resistance and antibacterial properties of cotton fabric via treatment with carbamoylguanidine phosphate using the pad-dry technique followed by after treatment with some transition metal chlorides. The effects of pH, curing conditions, and carbamoylguanidine phosphate on the extent of modification are evaluated. Analyses of the data reveal that:

I. the limiting oxygen index of the treated fabric samples follows a decreasing order:

carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Al complex4carbamoylguanidine phosphate4carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Ni complex4carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Cu complex,

II. antibacterial properties of the treated cotton fabric samples follow a decreasing order:

carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Cu complex4carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Ni complex4carbamoylguanidine phosphate-Al complex4carbamoylguanidine phosphate, and

III. such finished fabrics show high durability to washing.
