Chemically modified wool waste keratin for flame retardant cotton finishing

Environmentally friendly flame retardant chemicals are being developed in recent studies as legislation for eco-sustainable textile production becomes more stringent around the world. Utilisation of waste generated by the wool spinning industry is a prime concern with present work. The extraction an...

Utilisation of waste generated by the wool spinning industry is a prime concern with present work.

Melamine and sodium pyrophosphate were used as nitrogen and phosphorus sources, respectively, along with glyoxal as a cross-linking agent. The improved thermal stability of modified wool waste keratin and treated cotton fabrics was confirmed by TGA, while structural changes were established by FTIR and XRD analyses. Due to the synergistic impact of nitrogen and phosphorous, the modified wool waste keratin resulted in the formation of a continuous and intact layer of char that confers flame retardancy on treated cotton. The limiting oxygen index of cotton after application of the modified keratin showed a nearly 66.7% increase in flame retardancy compared to untreated cotton.
