Abstract
This thesis investigates the effectiveness of different concentrations of flame-retardant finishes on polyester fabrics, as well as the impact of padder rpm speed on the application process. According to the study, increasing the concentration of flame-retardant finishes can substantially increase the flame resistance of both fabrics. For polyester, burning time increased from 10 seconds to 28 seconds. The rpm speed of the padder had no effect on the results, indicating that flame resistance is solely dependent on the concentration of the finish. These findings highlight the potential for using higher concentrations of flame-retardant finishes to enhance fabric safety, with implications for the textile industry in developing more effective and durable fire-resistant materials. Further research is recommended to explore the long-term durability, environmental impact, and commercial application of these finishes.
