abstract="The combination of antimony trioxide with zinc chloride was realized to be effective for flame-retardancy imparted to a cotton fabric. The fabrics were dipped into individual aqueous suspensions of antimony trioxide and/or the zinc chloride; meanwhile some sets were impregnated with appropriate admixed solutions of the both chemicals. Vertical flame spread test was then accomplished to characterize the flammability of the specimens. A suitable synergistic effect was then, experienced by using an admixed bath containing 0.1 formal antimony trioxide and 0.1 formal, zinc chloride suspension solutions for the impartation of flame-retardancy to a cotton fabric. The optimum mass of the mixture required to donate flame-retardancy was about 7.19 g anhydrous additives per 100g fabric. The results obtained are in favor of &quot;Chemical Action Theory,&quot; &quot;Gas Dilution Theory,&quot; and &quot;Condensed Phase Retardation.&quot; <p />",
