abstract="The effect of &quot;three sodium phosphate&quot; as a moderate nondurable finish on the combustibility of pure polyester and or cotton fabric has been investigated in this article. The laundered bone-dried, weighed fabrics were impregnated with suitable concentration of aqueous three sodium phosphate solutions by means of squeeze rolls and drying at 110 deg C for 30 minutes. They were then cooled in a desiccator, re-weighed in an analytical balance and kept under ordinary conditions before the fulfillment of the vertical, flame test. The optimum add-on. value to impart flame-retardancy was about 19.78% for polyester and 7.9% for cotton fabric. The results obtained comply with the &quot;Coating Theory.&quot; Moreover the superiority of cotton fabric in combustibility's terms with regard to polyester fabric has been deduced.   <p>Language: en</p>",
