Abstract

Abstract The subject of the invention is a process for the manufacture of water-soluble condensation products of hydroxymethyl-phosphonium compounds and amides or carbamates, characterised in that (a) one mol of a tetrakis-(hydroxymethyl)-phosphonium compound is condensed with (b) 0.02 to I mol, preferably 0.1 to 0.6 mol, of an optionally methylolated compound of the formula R-CONH2 (1) wherein R denotes alkoxy with 1 to 4 carbon atoms, hydroxyalkoxy with 2 to 4 carbon atoms, aminocarbonyl or a radical of the formula (H2N - CO - CH2CH2)2 - Z - CH2CH2 -(1.1) wherein Z represents AT 40* TO 120*C, optionally in the presence of formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-donating agent and optionally in the presence of an inert organic solvent, optionally subsequently further condensed at temperatures of 100* to 150*C, and if appropriate free hydroxyl groups are at least partially etherified with at least one alkanol with 1 to 4 carbon atoms and if appropriate the salts of the condensation products are converted into the corresponding hydroxides. The condensation products are used for flameproofing organic fibre material, especially textiles.
