and the like alternatively the backcoating may comprise conventional thermoplastic polymers which can be applied to the textile by hot melt techniques known in the art the back coating can optionally include additional components such as other fire retardants dyes wrinkle resist agents foaming agents buffers ph stabilizers fixing agents stain repellants such as fluorocarbons stain blocking agents soil repellants wetting agents softeners water repellants stain release agents optical brighteners emulsifiers thickeners and surfactants the back coating is typically formed by combining the polymer liquid carrier material optional components and n 2 3 dibromopropyl 4 5 dibromohexahydrophthalimide in any manner and order known and the method and order is not critical to the instant invention for example these components both optional and otherwise could be mixed together in a storage vessel etc further the back coating can be applied to the surface of the textile through any means known in the art for example the use of coating machines such as those utilizing pressure rolls and chill rolls can be used u201c knife u201d coating methods by extrusion coating methods transfer methods coating spraying foaming or the like the amount of back coating applied to the textile is generally that amount sufficient to provide for a textile having a flame retarding amount of a n 2 3 dibromopropyl 4 5 dibromohexahydrophthalimide as described.
