Abstract
A novel phosphorus-nitrogen-containing intumescent flame retardant (IFR), ditrimethylolpropane di-N-hydroxyethyl phosphoramide (DDP), was successfully synthesized and used as a flame retardant for various fabrics. The chemical structure of DDP was characterized using FT-IR, 1H NMR, 31P NMR, and elemental analysis. The thermal property of DDP was investigated by thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of DDP on the flame-retardant properties of fabrics was evaluated by measurement of the burning length. The optimal synthesis conditions for DDP were determined. DDP showed high flame retardancy when applied to nylon and moderate flame retardancy when applied to cotton and polyester.
