Enhancement of Fire Retardancy in Coir Fibers Using Phosphorylation Treatment

Coir fiber has been pretreated using liquid ammonia and further subjected to phosphorylation for enhancing fire retardancy using a mixture of phosphoric acid and phosphorus pentoxide. Enhancement in fire retardancy was observed with reduced water absorption and without inducing any degradative effec...
