Abstract
 A well-known commercial flame-retardant called pyrovatex is frequently used on polyester fibers. In this study, we present a straightforward method for coating polyester textiles to make them hydrophobic and flame-resistant. Utilizing Pyrovtex (as a flame-resistant finishing compound) and RTV-silica rubber, we use the one-bath pad-dry-cure procedure (as water-repellent finishing material). The increased bonding of Pyrovatex with both polyester fibers and RTV, which in turn was bound to polyester fibers as well, enhanced the fabric's flame retardancy. RTV silicone also enhanced the fabric's surface's capacity to resist water. We investigated the treated polyester's surface morphology and contact angle.
