    Cotton has poor fire retardance characteristics. As a result, the textile material is not recommended in areas of fire risks though it has high comfort factor that make preferable for wearing purpose; therefore, imparting fire retardance is must to cotton. This research focuses on producing fire retardant cotton fabric using chicken eggshell to replace synthetic fire-retardant chemicals. Chicken eggshell contains fire-retardant mineral such as calcium carbonate, phosphorous, nitrous, potassium and zinc. Imparting fire retardance using synthetic chemicals has many limitations; toxicity, environmental hazards, non-biodegradable, non-renewable source and cost. On the other side chicken eggshell being bio-product has not any side effects since it occurs in nature abundantly. In most cases the chicken eggshell is removed after usage or hatching causing a big environmental pollution in appe.. Read More»
