Abstract
The possibility of decreasing the combustibility of textiles made of a blend of cellulose and polyester fibres (with a concentration of polyester fibre greater than 50%) by treatment with T-2 fire retardant in the presence of silicon-containing compounds was demonstrated. It was found that the effectiveness of the fireproofing effect of T-2 fire retardant for reducing the combustibility of materials when it was added to a melt of the polymer can be increased by microencapsulation in a polyvinylethoxysilane shell. The specific features of thermolysis of PETP in the presence of MIC 3G were investigated.
