摘要:
A flammable substrate, especially a cellulosic substrate such as cotton, is rendered flame-retardant by treatment with (1) a bis(epoxyalkyl) methylphosphonate such as bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) methylphosphonate or bis(2,3-epoxypropyl) chloromethylphosphonate, and (2) an organic nitrogen-containing compound, such as urea or N2, N4, N6-tris(hydroxymethyl)melamine. A treatment which is resistant to laundering is obtained when at least the phosphonate is insolubilized by polymerization on the surface of the substrate and/or reaction with the substrate. When a halomethylphosphonate is employed, the phosphorus content of the treated substrate can be increased by further treatment with a tris(haloalkyl) phosphite and/or a trialkyl phosphite.

THIS INVENTION DESCRIBES NOVEL WATER-SOLUBLE NITROGENCONTAINING PHOSPHONATES AND THE METHODS FOR THEIR PREPARATION. THE PHOSPHONATES ARE PREPARED BY REACTING HALOGENATED PHOSPHONATES WITH NITROGEN COMPOUNDS WHEREBY SOME OF THE HALOGEN ATOMS ARE REPLACED WITH NITROGENCONTAINING GROUPS. THE HALOGENATED PHOSPHONATES MAY ALSO BE MODIFIED BY REACTION WITH TRIALKYL PHOSPHITES BEFORE SUBSEQUENT REACTION WITH APPROPRIATE NITROGEN-CONTAINING COMPOUNDS.
