and cleaning the surface of the nylon textile.
By way of illustration and not limitation, the following specific methods may be employed in the surface cleaning stage prior to flame retardant finishing of nylon textiles:
Physical mechanical cleaning method
1) Brushing, using a soft brush or a special textile brush to gently brush off floating dust, impurities and loose fibers on the surface of the textile.

And (3) adjusting the fabric structure of the nylon fabric, and increasing the hydrophilicity and/or the fabric porosity of the nylon fabric.

Weaving structure design
A relatively loose woven structure, such as plain weave, twill weave or satin weave with relatively low warp and weft densities, is designed and adopted to increase the porosity of the fabric, so that the flame retardant finishing agent can better permeate and adsorb.
Pretreatment process
Before flame-retardant finishing, the nylon textile is pre-shrunk by adopting a physical or chemical method, and the fiber gaps are increased by changing the interweaving state among fibers, so that the porosity of the textile is improved.
Carding and calendaring
Fine carding is carried out on the textile so as to break up fiber bundles, refine the arrangement among fibers and increase the internal gaps of the textile. In addition, the calendaring pressure and the calendaring speed are reasonably controlled, and the fabric is properly leveled, and meanwhile, the pores are prevented from being reduced due to excessive compaction.
Chemical reduction treatment

Composite spinning technology
In the nylon fiber production stage, nylon and other fibers with better hydrophilicity are blended by adopting a composite spinning technology, so that the hydrophilicity of the fabric can be improved, the fabric structure can be adjusted on a microscopic level, and the porosity is increased.
Referring to fig. 2, the present application will be described in further detail with reference to the steps and embodiments shown. It should be noted that the following examples evaluate the flame retardant effect of nylon textiles in three ways:
Limiting Oxygen Index (LOI): this is a standard test method for measuring the ability of a material to support combustion in an oxygen environment, in general, the higher the LOI value, the more difficult the material will burn.
Vertical combustion test: by observing the afterflame, smoldering time and damage length of the fabric in the vertical burning process. The shorter the after-burning and smoldering time is, the fabric is not easy to continue burning or smoldering slowly, and the damage length is also greatly reduced, which shows excellent flame retardant property.
Evaluation of dripping phenomenon: this is an important index for evaluating flame retardant properties, since melt dripping can lead to fire spread and secondary fires, the absence of melt dripping means that flame retardant finishes are very effective.

Before spraying, firstly, pre-oxidation treatment is carried out on the nylon textile to enhance the surface activity of the fiber, and a drum-type cleaning device is adopted to deeply clean the textile, so that impurities in the fiber and on the surface are effectively removed, and meanwhile, the porosity of the textile is increased through mechanical action.
(2) The nylon textile evenly coated with the butyl acrylate flame retardant is placed in a plasma generator, the plasma power is set to be 250W, the gas flow rate is 6L/min, the treatment time is 2min, and helium is introduced to promote chemical bonding of the flame retardant and the nylon fiber.
