About 20% of initial fire ignitions are caused by cellulose, leading to significant property and human damage annually. Therefore, there is a need for effective flame retardants (FRs). Due to environmental concerns of halogen-based FRs, which are the commonly used, phosphorus-based FRs are being developed as alternatives. To preserve desirable bulk characteristics and minimize the additive quantities, we developed a fire-resistant and thermostable coating for cellulose using a surface treatment method. Herein, we designed the coating agent for cellulose by introducing hydroxy terminated tris(2-chloroehtyl) phosphate and hyaluronic aldehyde into melamine. Thermal stability was confirmed by TGA and DSC analysis up to ~800˚C. Torch test demonstrate immediate self-extinguishing performance. The results confirmed that the melamine-based coating enhances thermal stability and flame retardancy of cellulose. It is expected to be able to contribute to reduce fire damage by decreasing ignition of cellulose.
