Abstract
Abstract There is provided a flame retardant fiber blend which is especially useful for children''s sleepwear. This blend is comprised of from about 10 to about 90 percent (by weight of blend) of polyester fiber and at least 10 percent (by weight of blend) of a flame-retardant acetate fiber which is comprised of from about 0.5 to about 25 percent (by weight of acetate fiber) of at least one tris(polyhaloaliphatic) phosphate.
