DIFFERENT FIBERS TREATED WITH A MAGNESIUM — CONTAINING BI-COMPONENT SYSTEMS

Various fiber samples C2, C3, C4, C5 and C6 were treated with a magnesium-con­taining bi-component systems as indicated in Table 11.5. It is evident that all of the fibers were self-extinguishing after treatment with the (MgCl2+NaOH) system. It shows that the treatments are very effective across a range of cellulose materials and their forms.
