- An amount is 3 to 30 parts by weight to polymers containing halogen atom of not less than 17 100 parts by weight, it is preferably 5 to 25 parts by weight, and more preferably 7 to 20 parts by weight.
- An amount of less than 3 parts by weight gives only a small amount of residual carbide at the time of combustion, and thereby fails to demonstrate sufficient form maintenance effect.
- An amount exceeding 30 parts by weight saturates desired effect, gives factor of increase in costs, and disadvantageously causes trouble occurrence, such as nozzle clogging on manufacturing process of the fiber.

- a form of the flame resistant synthetic fiber of the present invention may be of staple fiber or may be of filament, and may be appropriately selected based on application for use.
- a similar form as of a partner fiber is preferable in processing by means of compounding with other natural fibers and chemical fibers.
- a staple fiber having approximately 1.7 to 12 dtex and approximately a cut length of 38 to 128 mm is preferable.
- a flame resistant synthetic fiber of the present invention to exhibit excellent flame resistance is considered as follows.
- a fiber (A) as specified in claim 1 containing a zinc compound 3 to 50 parts by weight, an antimony compound 0 to 30 parts by weight, and an other inorganic compound 3 to 30 parts by weight to a polymer containing halogen atom of not less than 17% 100 part by weight is made to burn by other sources of flame, halogen atoms in a polymer decomposed by combustion of the polymer first easily react with a zinc compound and an antimony compound contained in a fiber (A) to form zinc chloride and antimony chloride compounds, and, when an antimony compound is not included, to form hydrogen chloride.
- the zinc chloride works as a catalyst of chain cross-link reaction in the polymer, chains in the polymer are mutually cross-linked during combustion, resulting in formation of solid carbides (carbonizing effect).
- the antimony chloride compound or hydrogen chloride is a low boiling compound and a gas thereof is incombustible, oxygen of a combustion area is blocked out, and thereby combustion is suppressed, resulting in demonstration of fire extinguishing action (self-extinguishing effect).
- the other inorganic compound is not completely reduced to ashes at the time of combustion, the inorganic compound remains within the carbides, when above described solid carbide is formed, thereby increasing strength of the carbides (form maintenance effect).
- the fiber (A) may have combination of the carbonizing effect, the self-extinguishing effect, and the form maintenance effect, and may maintain a form in a state of carbides, without fiber form collapse even after combustion. Moreover, since the fiber (A) has the self-extinguishing effect, a flame is blocked out and spread of a fire may be suppressed, therefore demonstrating excellent flame resistance.
- Natural fibers and/or chemical fibers (B) used for the present invention are components for giving a flame resistant fabric of the present invention outstanding touch, feeling, sensuousness, product strength, washing resistance, and durability in use, and they are also components for satisfactorily improving workability at time of using a flame resistant nonwoven fabric for beddings or furniture.
- Examples of the natural fiber include, but not limited to, vegetable fibers, such as cotton and hemp; animal fibers, such as wool, camel hair, goat hair, and silk etc.
- examples of chemical fiber include, regenerated fibers, such as viscose rayon fibers and cuprammonium rayon fibers; regenerated fiber, such as acetate fibers; and synthetic fibers, such as nylon fibers, polyester fibers, polyester based low melting point binder fibers, and acrylic fibers.
- These natural fibers and chemical fibers may be independently used with the flame resistant synthetic fiber (A), and two or more kinds may be used in combination with the flame resistant synthetic fiber (A).
- polyesters of 15 to 25 parts by weight as B in a whole of (A + B) 100 parts by weight may be included, because the polyester fiber generates fused materials at the time of combustion to cover a flame resistant nonwoven fabric and thereby to strengthen a carbonized layer formed of the flame resistant nonwoven fabric, and also the polyester fiber can give flame shielding barrier performance for preventing flaming to cotton materials and urethane foam materials used for beddings or furniture, in prolonged exposure to intense flame; because the polyester fiber easily give bulkiness in processing into a nonwoven fabric; and because the polyester fiber may suppress a problem of damaging fibers due to a weak strength of a halogen containing synthetic fiber in a hopper feeder (carding device).
- polyester based low melting point binder fibers enables adoption of a simpler thermo-fusible adhesion method in the case of manufacturing of nonwoven fabric.
- polyester based low melting point binder fiber may also include a low melting point polyester single type fiber, and may include conjugate fibers of parallel connected type or core-in-sheath type consisting of (polyester) / (low melting point polypropylene, low melting point polyethylene, and low melting point polyester).
- low melting point polyesters have a melting point of almost 110 to 200 degree C
- low melting point polypropylenes have a melting point of almost 140 to 160 degree C
- low melting point polyethylene have a melting point of almost 95 to 130 degree C
- the materials are not especially limited, if they demonstrate fusible adhesion capability at temperatures about 110 to 200 degree C.
- use of polyester fibers without low melting points allows adoption of simpler needle punch methods in manufacture of the nonwoven fabric.
- a flame resistant fabric 100 parts by weight of the present invention may be manufactured from a flame resistant synthetic fiber (A) not less than 10 parts by weight, and a natural fiber and/or a chemical fiber (B) not more than 90 parts by weight. Blending ratios of the material fibers here are determined according to quality, such as flame resistance needed for final products manufactured from a flame resistant nonwoven fabric obtained, and moreover absorptivity, touch, moisture absorptivity, feeling, sensuousness, product strength, washing resistance, and durability in use.
- the synthetic fiber (A) 95 to 10 parts by weight, and preferably 60 to 20 parts by weight, the natural fiber and/or chemical fiber (B) 5 to 90 parts by weight, preferably 80 to 40 parts by weight are used to be compounded so that this total amount may give 100 parts by weight.
- the thermo-fusible adhesion method in the case of the nonwoven fabric manufacturing process, inclusion of the polyester based low melting point binder fiber of at least 10 parts by weight is preferable as the natural fiber and/or chemical fiber (B).
- An amount of less than 10 parts by weight of the flame resistant synthetic fiber (A) fails to realize enough formation of carbonized layer for preventing flaming to cotton and urethane foams used for beddings or furniture on the occasion of prolonged exposure to intense flame, and may only demonstrate poor self-extinguishing property, making it difficult to realize requested advanced flame resistance.
- the previously described fibers (A) and (B) are compounded, and the flame resistant fiber composite has a form of: fabrics, such as woven or knitted fabrics and nonwoven fabrics; collection of fibers, such as slivers and webs; fibrous materials, such as spun yarns, multiple wound yarns, twisted yarns; and corded materials, such as knitted strings and plaited cords.
- the above-described "compound” as used herein means that the fibers (A) and (B) are mixed by various methods to obtain a fabric including the fibers (A) and (B) at a predetermined ratio, and also that each fibers and yarns are combined in stages of blending, spinning, twisting, weaving and knitting.
- a flame resistant fiber composite of the present invention may suitably be used as a nonwoven fabric for flame shielding barriers.
- Flame shielding barrier as used herein means that when a flame resistant nonwoven fabric is exposed to flame, it shields against the flame by carbonizing itself, while maintaining a form of the fiber in an inflammable nonwoven fabric, to prevent the flame moving to an opposite side of the woven fabric.
- interposition of the flame resistant nonwoven fabric of the present invention between a fabric disposed outside of mattress and upholstered furniture etc., and urethane foam or packing as an internal structure etc. can prevent catching of a flame to internal structure in case of contacting flame, thereby giving least damage.
- nonwoven fabric preparation methods such as a general thermofusible adhesion method, a chemical bonding method, a water jet method, a needle punch method, and a stitch bonding method, may be used.
- a general thermofusible adhesion method such as a general thermofusible adhesion method, a chemical bonding method, a water jet method, a needle punch method, and a stitch bonding method.
- filament opening and webbing After blending a plurality of kinds of fibers, filament opening and webbing are performed with a carding device, and then this obtained web is treated by a nonwoven fabric manufacturing installation to produce the nonwoven fabric.
- Manufacturing by a needle punching system is preferable from a viewpoint of simplicity of apparatus, and manufacturing by a thermofusible adhesion system is preferable when low melting point polyester based binder fiber.
- the flame resistant fiber composite of the present invention may include antistatic agents, agents for prevention of coloring by heat, light resistance improvers, whiteness improvers, matting inhibitors, etc., and moreover coloring and dyeing by means of dyestuffs, pigments, etc. may be given without any trouble.

- Upholstered furniture of the present invention are beddings, such as bed mattress, chairs, sofas, and seats for vehicles etc. covered by the previously described flame resistant fiber composite.
- bed mattress for example, a pocket coil mattress, a box coil mattress using metal coils inside, or mattresses using insulators, such as styrene and urethane resins of a foamed state inside may be mentioned.
