[0002] As a high-performance geosynthetic, polypropylene filament geotextiles are widely used in engineering fields such as water conservancy, transportation, construction, and environmental protection due to their excellent tensile strength, corrosion resistance, permeability, and ease of construction. However, polypropylene is inherently flammable. Under certain environmental conditions (such as high temperatures, near fire sources, or in areas requiring fire prevention measures), its flammability can easily lead to fire risks, posing a potential threat to project safety and human life and property. Therefore, improving the flame retardant properties of polypropylene filament geotextiles is an urgent issue in current industry research and application. Summary of the Invention
