FIRE RETARDENT TREATMENT OF FABRICS
1. 9lb Boric Acid
6lb Sodium Phosphate
10 gallons Water
2. 10oz Borax
8oz Boracic Acid
1 gallon Water
3. 7oz Borax
3oz Boracic Acid
2 quarts Water
Solutions (1) and (2) have been found suitable for scenery and for the coarser fabrics and (2) can also be used for more delicate fabrics and for cotton wool. Solution (3) has also been recommended for the treatment of domestic materials.
The best result is usually obtained by submerging the materials in the solution until they are thoroughly impregnated, and then allowing the surplus solution to drain away. Pressure may be applied but rinsing in water should be avoided as this tends to wash out the protective chemicals.
