Abstract
Abstract A process for imparting flame retardant character to cellulosic containing materials has been devised in which the cellulosic material is treated with an aqueous solution of further polymerizable methylol-phosphorus compound obtained by reacting a tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium acid salt e.g., tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride with about 0.5 to 1.5 mol proportion of ammonia, in the presence of a carbamic acid derivative, e.g., urea, and the treated material is contacted with an aqueous solution of ammonia thereby curing the methylolphosphorus-compound in and on the cellulosic material.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
13 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)-phosphonium acid salt is the chloride.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
45 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the methylol-phosphorus compound is the product of the reaction of about one mol proportion of tetrakis-(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride with about one mol proportion of ammonia, in the presence of at least about 0.25 mol proportion of a carbamic acid derivative.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the treated material is dried to about 50 percent or less moisture retention without substantial fixation of the reaction product on the fiber.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
14 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the carbamic acid derivative is urea or thiourea.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
The process of claim 5 wherein the carbamic acid derivative is urea and is present in the amount of from about 0.5 to about 2 mol proportion per mol proportion of the tetrakis(hydrox methyl)phosphonium acid salt.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 5 wherein the reaction product is formed by reacting one mol proportion of tetrakis(hydroxymethyl) phosphonium chloride with about 0.8 mol proportion of ammonia and about 0.5 mol proportion of urea.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
102 words
Fire retardant cellulosic containing material obtained by treating cellulosic containing material with an aqueous solution of the reaction product of a tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium acid salt with from about 0.5 to about 1.5 mol proportion of ammonia in said aqueous solution and at least about 0.25 mol proportion of a carbamic acid derivative selected from the group consisting of urea, thiourea, biuret, guanidine, cyanamide, dicyanamide, and ethyleneurea, said aqueous solution having a pH of above about 1 but below about 8 and treating the material with an aqueous solution of ammonia to cure said phosphonium acid salt in and on the cellulose containing material.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
32 words
The material as claimed in claim 8 wherein the treated material is drieD to a moisture retention of about 50 percent by weight or less before treating the material with aqueous ammonia.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
