abstract="We have investigated the effect of magnesium sulfate heptahydrate (MgSO(sub)4.7H(sub)2O) on the flammability of cotton fabric, obtaining the optimum add-on value of magnesium sulfate to impart flame retardancy to cotton fabric in the range of 9.90-13.31 g anhydrous salt per 100g fabric. A thermogravimetric analysis of pure cotton, treated cotton, and the salt was fulfilled and the thermograms were compared and commented. The results obtained fortified &quot;The Gas Theory&quot; expressing the expelling of water in a desirable range, before the thermal decomposition of cellulose occurs.<p />",
