Abstract
Abstract Hydroxymethylphosphine-ammonia and similar polymers, solubilized by hydroxymethylphosphonium salts and formaldehyde, were allowed to react with nitrogenous compounds such as urea, trimethylolmelamine and ammonia to (a) prepare flame-resistant polymers and (b) prepare flame-, glow-, wrinkle and shrink-resistant woven and knit textiles which contain 25% or more cellulosic fibers.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A process for flameproofing organic textiles, comprising: a. reacting a hydroxymethyl phosphonium compound with ammonia or an amine to form an insoluble adduct polymer; b. mixing said polymer with a formaldehyde solution and a hydroxymethyl phosphonium compound at a mole ratio of formaldehyde to polymer phosphorus of from 1:4 to 4:1 and at a mole ratio of phosphonium compound to polymer phosphorus of from 1:10 to 2:1, thereby dissolving said polymer; and c. reacting in contact with an organic textile said dissolved polymer and a nitrogenous compound containing at least two members of the group consisting of hydrogen atoms or methylol radicals attached to a trivalent atom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A process for flameproofing organic textiles, comprising: a. reacting a hydroxymethyl phosphonium compound with ammonia or an amine to form an insoluble adduct polymer; b. mixing said polymer with a formaldehyde solution and a hydroxymethyl phosphonium compound at a mole ratio of formaldehyde to polymer phosphorus of from 1:4 to 4:1 and at a mole ratio of phosphonium compound to polymer phosphorus of from 1:10 to 2:1, thereby dissolving said polymer; and c. reacting in contact with an organic textile said dissolved polymer and a nitrogenous compound containing at least two members of the group consisting of hydrogen atoms or methylol radicals attached to a trivalent atom.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
22 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said dissolved polymer and said compound are mixed and applied to said fabric before being reacted.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
23 words
The process of claim 1 wherein said dissolved polymer is applied to said textile and then reacted with said ammonia or gaseous amine.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
9 words
The product produced by the process of claim 1.
