105()2(~8
The present inventlon provides
an organLc solvent-free flameproofing composltion which
is dispersed in water and which contains as component
(a) 50 to 700 g/kg of a brominated cycloalkane with 7 to 12
ring carbon atoms and 4 to 6 bromine atoms bonded to these
ring carbon ~toms, as component
(b) 0.1 to 300 g/kg of a dispersant7 as optional component
(c) 0 to 30 'kg of a protective colloid
and, as component
(d) water to a total bulk of 1 kg.
This flameproofing agent is-intended primarily for providing
synthetic fibrous material, above all textiles, of polyester
or polyamide with a flameretardant finish.
Component (a) can consist of both solid and liquid brominated
cycloalkanes. However, solid compounds, i.e. those which are
in the solid aggregate state at temperatures up to 20~C, are
preferred Particularly suitable compounds are those with a
melting point between ~0 and 200C, in particular between
100 and 190C.
Exal~ples of cycloalkanes which can be used as component (a)
are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6-hexabromocycloheptane, above all 1, 2,
3, 4- or 1, 2, 4, 6-tetrabromocyclooctane or, in particular,
1, 2, 5, 6, 9, lO~hexabromocyclododecane (abbreviated herein-
after to HBCD). Preferably HBCD is used by itself as active
substance.

lOS(~Z(~8
m ese compounds are known and are manufactured by methods
which are known per se.
Suitable dispersants as component (b) are, for example, the
conventional dispersants used in the dyestuffs and textile
industry: lignin sulphonates, ar~matic sulphonic acids, sa-
turated-aliphatic dicarboxylic acids which are substi~uted
by long-chain alkyl radicals, condensation products of aromatic
sulphonic acids and formaldehyde, alkylphenol/ethyleneoxy
adducts, fatty acid, fatty amine or fatty alcohol/ethyleneoxy
adducts, sulphated substituted benzimidazoles, sulphonated
fatty acid amides. Good results are obtained above all with
lignin sulphonates, with ethyleneoxy adducts of alkylphenols,
fatty amines, fatty alcohols or fatty acids and, in parti-
cular, with substituted benzimidazoles or with condensation
products of aromatic sulphonic acids and formaldehyde.
It is preferable to use those dispersants which at elevated
temperatures, e.g. at 180 to 220C, do not produce any yellow-
ing of the treated substrate or which at most only result in
a yellowing which can be removed in the washing-off. In other
words, the dispersants either must not decompose at elevated
temperature of they should form only soluble or volatile de-
composition products. The amount of dispersant used is pre-
ferably between 1 and 60 percent by weight, based on the
. ~ . .

l~S026~1~
amount of HBCD. Particularly good results are obtained with
1 to 50, above all 1 to 2~ and especially 1 to 4, percent by
weight of dispersant, based on the amount of HBCD.
The storage stability can be increased if the aqueous suspen-
sions or dispersions also contain a protective colloid as com-
ponent (c). Suitable protective colloids are those convention-
ally used in the art a e.g. polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrro-
lidone, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxy-
ethyl or hydroxypropyl cellulose, gelatins, acid casein, starch
paste or polymers of monomers of the acrylic acid series, for
example polyacrylic acid, ethyl acrylate or methylmethacrylate
copolymers. Good results are obtained above all with poly-
vinyl alcohol, hydroxyethyl cellulose and, especially, with
carboxyme~hyl cellulose.
The aqueous preparations contain as a rule 5~ to 7G0 g/kg,
preferably 2~D to 7Q~ g/kg, in particular 20~ to 5~0 g/kg, of
brominated cycloalkane; 0.1 to 3Q~ g/kg, preferably 0.2 to
~00 g/kg, especially 5 to 4~ g/kg, of dispersant; ~ to ~0 g/kg,
preferably 0 to 10 g/kg of protective colloid. The preparations
are bulked to 1 kg with water.
The component (a) is desirably ground as an aqueous dispersion
in the presence of a dispersant in such a manner that the
- ~ 4

particles have an average diameter of 1 to 30u, preferably
1 to 2~u. Good results are obtained above all with disper-
sions in which the particle size is 1 to lQu, especially 1
to 5~. The particle size has no actual influence on the flame-
retardant finishes, but it does have an influence on the sta-
bility of the dispersions.
m e brominated cycloalkanes wet only poorly, so that they are
advantageously not suspended in water until directly before
use, but already beforehand. Pure suspensions, however, are
relatively unstable and the component (a~ precipitates rapidly.
A dispersant is therefore added to the preparation according
to the invention, since this prevents a rapid sedimentation
of component (a). This sedimentation can be prevented almost
completely by the further addition of a protective colloid.
The protective colloids can be incorporated into the dis-
persion before or after the grinding.
If need be, such dispersions can be converted into solid
c~mmercial forms by drying them in known manner, for example,
in a spray dryer or in a conventional paddle dryer. These
solid forms can be reconverted into dispersions at any time.
The grinding of the solid component (a) is effected in con-
ventional devices suitable for such a purpose, e.g~ in a glass
ball mill, a sand mill or in a corundum disc mill.

lnsq~z~!~
It is a fur~her object of the invention to provide a method
of providing synthetic materials of polyester or polyamide
with a flame-retardant finish using an organic bromine com-
pound, which comprises treating these materials with the aqu~-
ous flameproofing agent according to the invention and sub-
jecting the treated materials to a heat treatment, the pro-
cedure being carried out in such a manner that, after the
heat treatment, the add-on of component (a) on the treated
fibrous material is ~.5 to 7 percent by weight, based on the
weight of the treated material.
The flameproofing agent, which is in the form of a concen-
trated aqueous emulsion, above all, however, of a concen-
trated aqueous suspension, is diluted with water to provide
a treatment liquor in such a manner that, having regard to
the liquor pick-up by the fibrous material to be treated,
the add-on of component (a~ is ensured.
According to the invention, the procedure to be followed is
preferably that the fibrous ma,erial is dried after the treat-
ment with the aqueous flameproofing agent and optionally then
subjected to a heat treatment at elevated temperature. A suit-
able method consists in drying the treated material at tem-
peratures up to 1~C, e.g. 70 to 10~C, and subjecting it
to a heat treatment of over 10~C, e.g. 1Q~ to 22~C or, in
.

. ~ .
: . .. , , ., . : ~ ~ ~ .

lns~
particular, 15C to 22~C, i.e. carrying out a thermosol
treatment.
The thermosol process is carried out preferably at 175 to
220C and lasts normally from 1~ ~Q 2Q~ seconds, preferably
from 20 to 10~ seconds. Particularly good results are obtained
with treatment times of 1~ to 6~ seconds.
Preferably the process is carried out in such a manner that,
depending on the nature of the fibrous material and its sur-
face weight, and by diluting the flameproofing agent with
water, the add-on of component (a) on the fibrous material is
.5 to 5.3 percent by weight, or especially 0.5 to 4.5 per-
cent by weight, based on the weight of the treated fibrous
material.
The polyester and polyamide fibrous materials which can be
provided with a flame-retardant finish according to the in-
vention can be in any desired stage of processing, i.e. they
can be treat2d as staple fibres or endless filaments, as woven
or knitted fabrics, dyed or undyed, or as textiles which have
already been further processed. Preferably, however, they are
always in the form of textile fibrous material.
The flameproofing agent which contains the component (a) can
be applied to the fibrous material by conventional methods,
-- 7 --
. .
,- ' ~ -
'

1~ 5~ 2 ~ ~
e.g. by spraying, printing, preferably by exhaustion or,
especially, by padding.
Preferably polyester fibrous materials are finished. Such
materials are preferably those derived from terephthalic acic,
e.g. poly(ethylene glycol terephthalate) or poly(l,4-cyclo-
hexylene-dimethylene terephthalate). Polyester fibres which
can be finished e~ectively according to the invention are
described, for example, in US patents 2 465 319 or 2 9~1 446.
Examples of polyamide fibres are those of poly-2--caprolactam,
polyhexylmethylenediamine adipate or poly-~J-aminoundecanoic
acid.
According to the invention, there are obtained on polyester
and polyamide fibrous materials permanent flame-retardant
finishes which are also retained after several washes or dry
cleanings. The finishes also have the advantage that the
handle of the finished fibrous materials does not have an
oily feel as is often the case when known agents are used.
Furthenmore, the tendency of the fabric to dry and wet soiling
is greatly reduced. The fastness to light and rubbing of dye-
ings is scarcely affected.
A particular advantage of the process according to the inven-
tion, however, resides in the fact that improved flame-re-

tardant finishes are obtained with the application of smaller
amounts of flameproofing agent.
In addition, the flame-retardant finish according to the in-
vention does no~ have any de~rimental effect on the mechanical
properties of the treated fibrous materials. In particular, ~he
good handle properties of the treated fabrics are scarcely
impaired owing to the small amount of flameproofing agent ap-
plied. The same also applies to the low stiffness in fleY.ure
and the high tear strength of the finished fibrous materials.
Even printed fabrics can be treated according to the invention
without the quality of the print being in any way thereby
impaired.
me fl~eproofing agents according to the invention can also
be used simultaneously with dyes or fluorescent brighteners,
so that it is possible to dye or treat with fluorescent brigh-
teners and to flameproof in one process.
.
Good res~lts are also obtained when using smaller amounts of
dispersant~ e.g. ~.1 to 3 percent by weight, based on the
treatment liquor, so that no washing-off is necessary.
~n the following manufacturing directions and Examples, the
parts and percentages are by weight.

~lISOZ08
E X A M P L E 7
Polyester fabric (5 g) with a weight per unit area of 15Q g/m2
is treated by the exhaustion process in a HT apparatus under
a gauge pressure of about 5 for 1 hour at 140C with 101 g of
a treatment liquor I or with 101.25 g of a treatment liquor
II of the following composition:
treatment liquor I: 1 g of a dispersion according to Direc-
tion A
1~0~ g of water
treatment liquor II: 1 g of a dispersion according to Direc-
tion A
lQQ g o~ water
0.25 g of a mixture which consists of a
dodecylbenzenesulphonate-triethanolamirle
salt and an adduct of castor oil fatty
acid and ethylene oxide and is dissolved
in a solvent mixture of trichlorobenzenes,
diphenyl, xylene, m-hexanol and ethylene
glycol.
In contrast to Example 1, a washing-off is not carried out in
this Example. After the termination of the treatment, each of
the fabrics is washed 20 times in a domestic washing machine
for 45 minutes at 60C in a liquor which contains 4 g/l of a
household detergent (SNV 198 861 - Wash).

sistance is also tested in the DIN 53 906 Vertical Test at
an ignition time of 3 seconds.
The results are reported in Table VI.
