SARAFLAM-DUR

SARAFLAM-DUR | Durable Flame Retardant

Product Information

Saraflam-DUR is an organo phosphorous durable flame retardant for 100% cellulosic fibres such as cotton and regeneratred cellulosic fibres like viscose,modal,tencel. Saraflam-DUR chemically reacts with these fibres thereby imparting durable flame retardency which can withstand several launderings and dry cleanings. Saraflam-DUR does not affect the drape of the fabric and does not leave any white residue on the fabric thus minimum effect on shade.

Saraflam-DUR can also be combined with other finishing agents. Saraflam-DUR prevents flame propagation in presence of fire. It is recommended for home textiles, industrial textiles and apparels.

Before finishing with Saraflam-DUR, please ensure that the fabric is free from residues of earlier treatment which could otherwise hamper the performance of Saraflam-DUR

Saraflam-DUR : 400-600 g/l

Saraprint AC/Saralink-ULF: 70-100 g/l

Ammonium chloride : 7-10 g/l

Phosphoric acid 80% : 20-25 g/l

Sarawet NF : 2-5 g/l

Saralube-2975 : 20-40 g/l

Pick-up : 70-80% (2 dip-2 nip)

Drying : 100-110 deg.C

Curing : 150 deg.C, 5 min.

Please ensure that the padding temperature does not exceed 30 deg.C

Note:

After finishing, the fabric has to be washed with 3-5 g/l soda ash (pH maintained at 9-10) to neutralise phosphoric acid and unreacted Saraflam-DUR followed by rinsing in plain water twice or thrice.
Final pH of fabric should be 6.5-7 before drying.
Dry add-on of minimum 25-30% ensures required performance.
Flame retardency depends upon actual add-on of Saraflam-DUR on the finished fabric, therefore lab trials are recommended to arrive at required dosage.

Saraflam-DUR is recommended for following test methods.

BS 3119 (1959) Vertical flame test
BS 5852 Cigarette bud test for upholstery
BS 5852 Part 1 (1979), BS 5651 (1978) for upholstery
ASTM D6413 has been adopted from Federal Test Standard No.191A method 5903.1

Precautions

Storage: Store in cool, ventilated shed away from heat and direct sunlight. Storage temperature should not exceed 35 deg C. Close lids firmly to avoid contact with air and moisture.

Shelf Life: 9 months from the date of manufacturing, if stored under controlled conditions.
