| Abstract | The technical feasibility of multifinishing of cotton fabric through conducting easy-care, flame retardancy and grafting treatments in one-stage process using the pad-dry-cure method was studied. In essence, the treating formulation consisted of etherified methylolated melamine (EMM), Pyrovatex Cp and acrylamide along with ammonium sulphate (catalyst for reactions involving EMM and Pyrovatex (p) and potassium persulphate (initiator for acrylamide grafting). The multifinishing treatment was carried out under different conditions including concentrations of EMM, Pyrovatex Cp, acrylamide, ammonium sulphate and potassium persulphate, as well as curing temperature and time. Results obtained indicated that increasing the acrylamide concentration in the multifinishing formulation caused enhancement in the percent add-on, nitrogen content and flame retarding properties of the multifinished fabric, while decreasing the crease recovery, tensile strength and elongation at break. Similar effects were obtained upon increasing the concentration of EMM, Pyrovatex Cp and ammonium sulphate. Raising the curing temperature from 120-degrees to 200-degrees was accompanied by increased add-on and decreased tensile strength and elongation at break. The nitrogen content and crease recovery increased by increasing the temperature upto 160-degrees and 140-degrees, respectively, then decreased. Maximum flame retardancy was obtained at a curing temperature of 160-degrees. Increasing the curing time from 1 to 5 minutes increased the add-on and decreased the tensile strength and elongation at break. Nitrogen content and flame retardancy increased with curing time up to 3 minutes, then decreased. The highest crease recovery was achieved after 1 minute curing. Explanation of these findings was reported. |
