Due to its wide application improvement of fire protection of materials has always been topical. Aim of the research is to render textile materials less flammable in an economically and environmentally friendly manner using modified commercial products. Plain wave cotton fabric pretreated with cyclic phosphonate flame retardant (FR) Itoflam PES was used in experiments. Printing pastes Printperfect LAC 60, Tubiscreen EX-TS and Printperfect EX-AR with additive antimony trioxide (Sb2O3) were used for additional treatment of cotton fabric via flat screen coating method. FR properties, physico – mechanical characteristics (tensile strength, elongation, stiffness, abrasion resistance) were examined. It is concluded that foamed coating increases the stiffness and abrasion resistance of material. Recommendations for material application are given.
