FLAME-RETARDANT AND METHOD FOR PRODUCTION THEREOF, AND FLAME RETARDANT FIBER FABRIC

摘要

A flame-retardant which comprises an expandable graphite and, applied on at least a part of the surface thereof, a phosphate ester and a surfactant. It is preferred that the surface of the graphite is coated with a surfactant layer via a phosphate ester layer. The preferred flame-retardant can be produced by a method comprising applying an organic solvent containing a phosphate ester dissolved therein on an expandable graphite, and then applying an organic solvent containing a surfactant dissolved therein, followed by drying. The flame-retardant can impart satisfactory flame retardancy, and also is excellent in dispersion stability and application stability.
