For BIS use only BUREAU OF INDIAN STANDARDS (Not to be reproduced or used as the Indian Standard without the prior permission of BIS) Draft Indian standard 5 DOC: TX 32 (12786) TEXTILES FLAME RETARDANT JUTE BASED DECORATIVE AND COVER FABRIC FOR TEMPORARY STRUCTURE SPECIFICATION FOREWORD (Formal Clauses shall be added later) With advent of different variety of jute based wall cover and decorative fabrics after diversification of Jute and Jute based other products, it is felt essential to develop separate fire retardant Standard for Jute based cover fabrics for temporary structure including conventional Jute cover fabrics, Jute based finer variety of decorative and furnishing fabrics and Jute -cotton union fabrics, tent /wall cover fabrics and Jute based pandal fabrics for temporary structure etc. For protection against fire retardant performance of such Jute based fabrics need to be enhanced and tested. Hence the requirement of establishing new Indian standard for Fire Retardant Jute based cover fabric and decorative fabric used for temporary structure and other diversified end uses is justified. Ministry of Textiles, Govt. of India, through Jute Commissioner s office, Govt. of India has entrusted Dept. of Jute and Fibre Technology (DJFT), Institute of Jute Technology (IJT), University of Calcutta (CU) for doing necessary R & D to develop Performance effective Fire Retardant Finish of Jute and to establish a new standard for Fire Retardant Jute based cover fabric and decorative fabric for temporary structure and other diversified end uses. As these Jute Based fabrics does not demand or does not require frequent washing and hence requirement of very high degree of wash fast for such Jute based fire retardant fabric is not felt essential. But considering the end uses as Cover fabric and decorative home textiles for temporary structure it has become essential to find a semi-durable to moderately durable fire retardant formulation for jute with some degree of wash durability up to 5 wash cycles for different fire retardant formulations to be applied on jute. Fire protective finish by different fire retardant agents for cotton and synthetics has been reported during last few decades by many researchers in literature and there are relevant Indian Standard for it but there are scanty reports on fire retardant finish for jute fabrics. The major problems associated with fire retardant finishing treatment of jute are higher chemical add-on, noticeable loss in tensile strength and yellowing etc. besides to achieve suitable fire retardant performances unlike cotton and synthetic fabrics. Moreover, most of such fire retardant formulations requires high dosages of relevant chemicals and are semi durable in nature. Hence by prolong R & D for two years, DJFT, CU has developed both semi durable as well as wash fast Fire Retardant formulations for Jute fabrics with a field trail at Ambica Jute Mills, Belur, Howrah. Testing of these fire retardant jute fabrics have been carried out at DJFT, IJT, C U and also interlab test trial have been done at NITRA, Ghaziabad, as COE in Protective Textiles for authentication and confirmation of test results from an outside lab. Few examples for application procedure of fire retardant treatments is given in Annex C for guidance only. 1 SCOPE This standard prescribes constructional, performance and other requirements for flame retardant jute based decorative and cover fabrics for temporary structures. These Jute or Jute-Cotton Union Fabrics
( natural-grey, bleached and dyed or printed jute based fabrics) are usually used for wall decoration, cover and decoration purpose in temporary structure (pandal) and also in other semi-permanent structure like temporary tent etc. 2 REFERENCES The standards listed in Annex A contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this standard.

ZnO nano powder was prepared by co-precipitation method. 50 gm of zinc acetate dihydrate was put into 1000 ml of distilled water under vigorous stirring. After 10 min stirring, 2 M NaOH aqueous solution was introduced into the above aqueous solution, resulting in a slurry like white solution, which were then placed on magnetic stirrer for stirring for 2 hr. The precipitate was then taken out and washed repeatedly with distilled water followed by ethanol to remove the impurities for the final products. Then a white powder was obtained after drying at 100 0 C in vacuum oven for 6 hrs. The white precipitate is then calcinated at 600 0 C for 4 hrs in Muffle furnace in order to get purified Zn nano powder. 1 Application of ZnO Nano particles 0.1gm ZnO Nano powder was weighed and made dispersion with 50 ml BS16. Distilled water is added in this and the solution is made up to 500 ml. Out of this, 250 ml is taken out in a tray and the bleached jute fabric is kept for 30 minutes. Then the fabric is padded through the padding Mangle with the pressure of 20Kg/cm 2.The fabric is then taken out and dried at 90 0 C. 12
