1 Introduction
Some fundamental and preliminary studies on the thermal behavior [1–3] of jute and
fire retardant finishing [4–7] of jute have been reported earlier [1–7]. Since long,
Cellulosic fabrics are being made fire-resistant by treatment with different known
non-durable and durable fire-retardant formulations as mentioned in literature and
a comprehensive review by Horrocks and also by others where categorically they
have mentioned different Fire Retardant Compounds and their efficacy, etc., in their
research literature [8–11], including many reports on fire protective finishing of
cotton, but the similar study on jute is very much limited and scanty [4–7]. Some
preliminary studies on temporary fire retardancy of jute have been also reported
earlier by Banerjee et al. [4] using borax-boric acid and di-ammonium phosphate.
In a review described by Samanta [5] for different approaches of chemical finishing
of jute, the use of potassium-sodium-tartrate (Rochelle Salt) as a fire retardant agent
for jute fabric is mentioned.
Only a few scanty reports [4–7] are available in the literature on the application of fire retardant finish on jute, which warrants for an integrated study on
this aspect with particular reference to jute that too with eco-friendly chemicals in
today’s context. Moreover, the recipe and conditions for the chemical processing and
