Embodiment

[0035] Representative fiber processing products

[0036] A 100% cotton cloth sheet with a size of 2 inches x 6 inches and a siloxane oligomer containing 5% by weight (aminoethylaminopropyl silsesquioxane oligomer, Gelest, Inc., referred to in Table 1 An aqueous solution of "siloxane") and aluminum lactate (0.9% by weight or 3.7% by weight based on the total weight of the fiber treatment composition) was shaken at room temperature. The fibers are removed and processed by a hand-turning cloth wringer. It is measured that the collected wet content (wet) is close to 100%. Repeat for a total of 14 specimens. The sample was heated in a forced air oven at 150°C for 20 minutes and then allowed to cool to room temperature. Five specimens were evaluated for flame retardancy after treatment / heating, and another five specimens were washed before the flame test.

Abstract

A silicone composition is provided which comprises at least one polysiloxane or siloxane oligomer functionalized with at least one amino group and at least three functional groups capable of cross-linking wherein the polysiloxane or siloxane oligomer imparts flame retardancy on a cellulose-containing substrate. Further embodiments of the present invention include a method for making and a cellulose-substrate comprising the aforementioned silicone composition.

Description

Background of the invention [0001] The present invention relates to a composition for textile coating. More specifically, the present invention relates to a silicone composition that firmly adheres to textiles and provides flame retardancy. [0002] Textiles used in the apparel industry must comply with certain standards before they can be sold. According to government regulations, the outer layer of clothing must show a certain degree of flame retardancy. Flame retardancy can be obtained by blending flame retardant textiles into fibers. For example, in many cases cotton and polyester are blended to obtain the desired level of flame retardancy. Unfortunately, fibers blended with flame-retardant textiles have a negative impact on the properties of the final textile, such as softness. When softness is an issue, flame retardancy can be imparted by treatment with flame retardant materials. For example, the flame retardancy of the fiber can be obtained by treating the textile with phos...
