Claims19
A fire retardant material for application to textiles comprising (a) ammonium polyphosphate particles microencapsulated within a melamine resin or melamine-based resin and (b) melamine-based particles retained in (c) a base material, wherein the weight to weight ratio of (a) ammonium polyphosphate particles microencapsulated within a melamine or melamine-based resin and (b) melamine-based particles is from 3:1 to 1:3.
A method of coating a textile article to provide a fire-retardant textile article, the method comprising dispersing fire retardant material in a base material, the fire retardant material comprising ammonium polyphosphate particles microencapsulated within a melamine or melamine-based resin and melamine cyanurate particles, and coating the so-formed dispersion onto a textile article wherein the weight to weight ratio of ammonium polyphosphate particles microencapsulated within a melamine or melamine-based resin and melamine cyanurate particles is from 3:1 to 1:3.
