β¦ Synopsis
Potassium aluminum sulphate, hereafter referred to as alum, was used as a flame-retardant for some African timbers. It was observed that this treatment did not drastically reduce the strength of these timbers. Reasons are adduced to explain this result.

Samples of unscoured, scoured, bleached and mercerized cellulosic fabrics were treated with dimethylol urea (DMU). It was observed that this treatment imparted to the fabrics flame retardant (FR) characteristics. These observations were interpreted in terms of the fact that DMU reacts bifunctionally
