Abstract
Abstract Flame retardance is imparted to textile materials by impregnating them with a flame retardant composition comprising (a) at least one compound represented by the formula ##STR1## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of aryl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl, alkenyl and alkyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and ##STR2## R 3 represents an alkylene group having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, and R 4 and R 5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ##STR3## wherein R 6 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to about 4 carbon atoms; provided that not all of said R 4 's and R 5 's are --CH 3 at the same time: (b) an aminoplast; and (c) an acid catalyst; and heating the impregnated textile material sufficiently to cure said flame retardant composition.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
152 words
A process for imparting flame retardance to a textile material comprising the steps of (a) impregnating said textile material with a flame-retardant composition comprising (1) at least one compound represented by the formula ##STR24## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of aryl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl, alkenyl and alkyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and ##STR25## R 3 represents an alkylene group having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, and R 4 and R 5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ##STR26## wherein R 6 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, provided that not all of said R 4 's and R 5 's are --CH 3 at the same time; (b) an aminoplast; and (c) an acid catalyst; and (2) heating said impregnated textile material sufficiently to cure said flame-retardant composition.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
152 words
A process for imparting flame retardance to a textile material comprising the steps of (a) impregnating said textile material with a flame-retardant composition comprising (1) at least one compound represented by the formula ##STR24## wherein R 1 and R 2 are each independently selected from the group consisting of aryl, arylalkyl, alkylaryl, alkenyl and alkyl having from 1 to about 6 carbon atoms and ##STR25## R 3 represents an alkylene group having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, and R 4 and R 5 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, ##STR26## wherein R 6 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to about 5 carbon atoms, provided that not all of said R 4 's and R 5 's are --CH 3 at the same time; (b) an aminoplast; and (c) an acid catalyst; and (2) heating said impregnated textile material sufficiently to cure said flame-retardant composition.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
63 words
