DSC and TGA studies were made of jute fibers treated with a flame retardant formulation, borax-formaldehyde-sodium hydrosulphite. DSC thermograms were ob tained in both nitrogen and air atmospheres and TGA thermograms in nitrogen at mosphere. A thermal analysis was also made of fibers treated with borax alone. A comparison of thermograms for treated fibers with that of the control showed differences in the characteristic peak patterns due to the flame retardant treatment. The acquired flame retardancy of jute is explained on the basis of both the DSC and TGA analyses.
