Abstract: The results of a difference IR spectroscopic study of flame retardant (FR) fabrics aimed at assessing the relative importance of various factors involved in the impairment and loss of flame retardance of these fabrics during laundering are presented. The study reveals loss in the intensity of several absorption bands in the phosphoryl region as a result of laundering. This is attributed to a change in P – O bond order due to complex formation between the metal cations present in wash water and the phosphate group of the FR finish. The effect is reversible, as both the initial IR spectrum and FR ability can be restored by displacement of cations.
