Abstract
Flameproofed cellulose includes as a flameproofing agent a compound selected from esters, ester-amides and amides of pyrophosphoric, of mono-, di- and trithiopyrophosphoric, of triphosphoric, and of mono-, di-, tri- and pentathiotriphosphoric acids. Preferred flameproofed cellulose, and other polymeric organic materials include as a flameproofing agent a compound selected from a smaller class of the above compounds.
