Properties

Usage :
The Concentration of the pad formulation of Americos Flame Retardant 7290 applied to polyester/cotton blends or 100% polyester will depend upon the flame retardant specifications to be met. For vertical flame tests such as NFPA-701, California drapery tests, New York City requirements, etc., we suggest a dry add-on of 15 -25% based on the weight and construction of fabric. Pad the fabric through a finish solution containing Americos Flame Retardant 7290 35- 60% (ows) to an 80% wet pick-up and dry. The concentration of the pad bath may be adjusted for fabric at 150°C or below to avoid any tendency toward yellowing the cotton portion of the blend.

The addition of 1% (ows) Americos Flame Retardant 7290 to the stock bath will assist in wetting out and penetration. This is especially beneficial when treating tight constructions. Normal wetting agents are ineffective in flame retardant solutions. Americos Flame Retardant 7290 has no wetting properties in plain water; it is an excellent wetting agent and penetrate when used in solutions containing Americos Flame Retardants.

Usage continued :
The chemicals in this compound are composed of a water solution of salts. Concentrated solutions accidentally spilled on the skin or in contact with the eyes should be thoroughly rinsed with water.
