Product Description
THPC-Urea Compound Flame Retardant, commonly known as Tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride (THPC) combined with urea, is a widely used flame retardant for cotton textiles. Here's an overview of its properties, benefits, and applications:
THPC: A phosphorus-based compound that, when applied to textiles, forms a durable, flame-retardant finish.
Urea: Often used as a synergist with THPC to enhance the flame retardant properties.
Mechanism: The THPC-urea compound is applied to cotton textiles and then undergoes a chemical reaction to form an insoluble polymer within the fabric. This polymerized structure is thermally stable and releases water and carbon dioxide when heated, diluting flammable gases and reducing the availability of oxygen, thereby inhibiting combustion.
Product Parameters
- Durable Flame Retardancy: The treatment provides long-lasting flame retardant properties that withstand multiple launderings.
- Soft Hand Feel: Proper application can maintain the softness and comfort of cotton textiles.
- Non-toxic Byproducts: When properly cured, the treatment does not release toxic chemicals during normal use or in a fire.
- Treated fabrics are typically tested to meet specific flame retardancy standards, such as NFPA 701 (Standard Methods of Fire Tests for Flame Propagation of Textiles and Films) in the U.S. or EN ISO 6940/6941 in Europe.

Application Scope
- Protective Clothing: Used in the manufacturing of uniforms and garments for firefighters, military person, and workers in industries where flame resistance is critical.
- Home Textiles: Applied to curtains, upholstery, and other home furnishings to reduce fire risks.
- Industrial Textiles: Used in applications such as conveyor belts and insulation covers where flame resistance is necessary.
