AB -  In order to prove the superiority of cotton fabric to polyester with regard to flammability, we have studied the effect of Graham's salt as a moderate and nondurable finish on the flammability of pure polyester and cotton fabric. The laundered bone-dried, weighed fabrics were impregnated with suitable concentration of aqueous Graham's salt solutions by means of squeeze rolls and drying at 110°C for 30 min. They were then cooled in a desiccator, reweighed with analytic precision, and kept under ordinary conditions before the accomplishment of the vertical flame test. The optimum add-on value to impart flame retardancy was about 43.65% for polyester fabric and 36.78% for cotton fabric. The results obtained comply with the Coating Theory. Moreover, the superiority of cotton fabric to polyester fabric in terms of combustibility has been deduced.
