The application relates to a process for producing fibrous material with antimicrobial properties, wherein in the first step coniferous resin acid composition is emulsified into aqueous solution with emulsifier and wetting agent, and in the second step thus formed emulsion is transferred into fibrous material by impregnation. Further, the application relates to an aqueous antimicrobial composition for use as a water-soluble concentrate in the treatment of fibrous materials, and to a fibrous material with antimicrobial properties, and to its use in e.g. fabrics, fur, leather, clothes, canvas, tissues, plastics, webs, accessories, packaging materials, wallpapers, food-related products, household products, footwear, construction materials, insulating materials and medical products.

A flame resistant textile fabric includes a coating having an expandable graphite, or a combination of an expandable graphite and a nanoclay, disposed on one or both of its first and second surfaces. The flame resistant textile fabrics may be used to make one or more components of a mattress, such as a filler cloth, or fabric fire barrier.

Aqueous-based coating compositions include a drying oil, a fatty acid or alkylamine fatty acid, and alkyl amine, 50-90% water and one or more waxes. When applied to a fabric and cured in air, the compositions form water repellent coatings that are laundry durable. A dye may be included in the coating composition; in such cases a durable water-repellent coating is applied to the fabric and the fabric is dyed in a single curing step.
