Researching Properties of Gained Flame Retardancy on the Upholstery Leathers by Tributyl Phosphate Chemical

Özet

Tributyl Phosphate (TBP) is classified as organophosphorus compounds and shows a fire retardant effect in different materials. In this work, TBP was applied to the non-finished upholstery leathers at different concentrations. (0%, 8%, 16%, 24%) After the flame retardant mixture applied to the leathers, samples were finished with a standard finishing recipe. Fire retardant effect on TBP treated leathers was determined by LOI test. Also morphological properties of leathers by SEM, molecular binding characterization of leathers by ATR+FTIR Analysis and physical properties of leathers by Tensile Strength, Percentage Extension, Double Edge Tear Load, Thickness and Dry Rubbing Fastness were researched. The results showed that TBP treated leathers have a good flame retardant effect and caused to reduce physical properties in allowable values.
