As an important regenerated cellulose fiber

viscose fiber is a successful product because of its comfort and other excellent properties. Conventional viscose fiber industry was gradually shut down in developed countries due to its pollution during manufacturing. Now developing countries are the main producer of viscose fiber. High flammability and low wet strength are the main drawbacks of viscose fiber. Applying flame retardants to viscose fiber is necessary to reduce damage and life lost in fire. In this paper

generally used flame-retardants and new developed ones were introduced. The history and recent developments of flame-retardant viscose fiber are presented in details

future developing tendencies of flame-retardant viscose fiber were discussed.
