Abstract | Woven hemp fabric was treated with sodium hydroxide, commercial flame retardant chemical, and combination of both to increase its fire-retardant properties. Treatments of fire-retardant changed the properties of woven hemp fabric such as increased its fabric shrinkage and density of fibres which ranges from 0.67 to 5% and 1.43 to 1.53 g/cm3 respectively. After the treatment, the fire retardancy of the fabric increased tremendously which was observed by the burning, thermogravimetry and limiting oxygen index tests. Some of the samples were not burnt when exposed to flame source and the burning rate needed to be measured under exaggeration of flame at longer time. The limiting oxygen index value increased from 18.6 to 51 after the treatments which explained the scenario happened in the burning tests. Nevertheless, its |
