  • Patent number: 11920259
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a washable flame retardant viscose fabric. The viscose fabric includes a flame retardant viscose fiber; and a method of preparing the viscose fiber includes the following steps: impregnation, squeezing, ageing, yellowing, addition before spinning, spinning, bundling, drafting, cutting off, first washing, desulfurization, second washing, pickling, third washing, application of oil bath, drying, and packaging. Before spinning, an aqueous dispersion of flame retardant, an aqueous dispersion of hyperbranched nanocellulose and a dispersant are uniformly added to a spinning glue using a pre-spinning injection system. During the production of the flame retardant viscose used, the aqueous dispersion of flame retardant, the aqueous dispersion of hyperbranched nanocellulose and the dispersant are introduced into the spinning glue by the pre-spinning injection system before spinning, so that the flame retardant has a high residual rate in the subsequent coagulation bath.

  • Publication number: 20090159860
    Abstract: A heat and fire resistant planar unitary shield formed of heat and flame resistant fibers and voluminous bulking fibers. The shield material has a heat and flame resistant zone with a majority of the heat and flame resistant fibers, and a voluminous bulking zone with a majority of the voluminous bulking fibers. The fibers are distributed through the shield material in an manner that the heat and flame resistant fibers collect closest to the outer surface of the shield with the heat and flame resistant zone, and the voluminous bulking fibers collect closest to the outer surface of the shield material with the voluminous bulking zone.
