In this study, we used lignin as synergistic flame retardant material combined with 9, 10-Dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene 10-oxide (DOPO) to prepare novel flame retardant. Polyester fabric was treated with this novel flame retardant by dipping process. The evaluation of thermal gravity analysis (TGA) and limiting oxygen index (LOI) were also studied. The anti-dripping property of Polyester fabric treated with lignin was improved due to the forming of char layer. TGA result showed that the char yield ratio at 800℃ of the polyester fabric treated with novel flame retardant was increased significatly. The effect of char layer was very signification.
