Abstract
A process for rendering cellulose and cellulose containing fabrics fire resistant by first impregnating the fibers with a solution of an aminoplast resin, an acid and an effective amount of a dialkyl phosphono methylol alkylamide to produce fire retardancy in the resulting fabric having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is lower alkyl having 1 to 6 carbon atoms and x is an integer from 1 to 3 and polymerizing the resin while the fibers are wet and swollen. The fabric is then cured, washed and dried. The fabric obtained from this process possesses high fire-retardancy values, soft hand, and tensile values similar to that of the untreated fabric.
