Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a flame retardant (FR) treated fabric, comprising yarns formed from a mixture of natural and/or synthetic fibres, the fabric further comprising FR treated lyocell fibres, wherein the FR treatment is a non-cellulose-reactive FR treatment and the FR treated lyocell fibres are rendered low-fibrillating e.g. whereby at least some of the hydroxyl groups are cross-linked with a reactant resin.

A flame retardant (FR) treated fabric, comprising yarns formed from a mixture of natural and/or synthetic fibres, the fabric further comprising FR treated lyocell fibres, wherein the FR treatment is a non-cellulose-reactive FR treatment and the FR treated lyocell fibres are rendered low-fibrillating.
A method of producing a flame retardant fabric comprising yarns including a mixture of natural and/or synthetic fibres and lyocell fibres having accessible hydroxyl groups, the method comprising first subjecting the fabric to a non-cellulose-reactive FR treatment and subsequently finishing the fabric by application of a resin to stabilise fibrillation of the lyocell.
