Jq. Wang et al., THE EFFECT OF HEAT ON WOOL AND WOOL TREATED WITH ZIRPRO BY X-RAY PHOTOELECTRON-SPECTROSCOPY, Polymer degradation and stability, 43(1), 1994, pp. 93-99
Thermogravimetric analysis and differential scanning calorimetry in co
mbination with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, have been applied to
the study of degradation of wool and its flame retardation after treat
ment with Zirpro. ZrOF2 is of importance in flame retardation and smok
e suppression, the latter depending mainly on the contribution of cova
lent linkages in Zirpro flame retardant.
