Abstract

Abstract The subject of the invention is a process for the manufacture of water-soluble condensation products of hydroxymethylphosphonium compounds and thiourea or biuret, characterised in that (a) one mol of a tetrakis-(hydroxymethyl)-phosphonium compound is condensed with (b) 0.02 to 0.5 mol, preferably 0.1 to 0.3 mol, of optionally methylolated thiourea or biuret at 40° to 120°C, optionally in the presence of formaldehyde or a formaldehyde-releasing agent and optionally in the presence of an inert organic solvent, the condensation is optionally thereafter continued at temperatures of 100° to 150°C and, if appropriate, free hydroxyl groups are etherified at least partially 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. In addition to the preferred molar ratio range of 1:0.1 to 0.3, the range of 0.2 to 0.5 is also advantageous. The condensation products are used for flameproofing organic fibre material, especially textiles.
