Sažetak
A historical overview of the most commonly used textile flame retardants (FR) is given, with an emphasis on halogen-free FRs acting through their mechanism to slow down or prevent burning. Since a large number of halogen FRs are toxic, or potentially toxic, to the organisms and the environment, there is a need for them to be replaced by eco-friendly agents. The paper presents new alternative FRs that are trying to be put into practice, as well as different methods of their application onto textiles in comparison to one another. One of the possible ways of developing alternative FRs could be the application of bio-macromolecules such as chitosan, phytic acid, casein, whey, hydrophobins or DNA.
