摘要:
The present invention relates to a comfortable, cut resistant and abrasion resistant, composition composed of cotton, nylon, and p-aramid fibers and used primarily in the sheath for sheath/core yarns in protective apparel.
摘要:
A yarn, fabric, and garment suitable for use in arc and flame protection and having improved flash fire protection consisting essentially of from (a) 50 to 80 weight percent meta-aramid fiber having a degree of crystallinity of at least 20%, (b) 10 to 30 weight percent flame-retardant rayon fiber, (c) 10 to 20 weight percent modacrylic fiber, (d) 0 to 5 weight percent para-aramid fiber, and (e) 0 to 3 weight percent antistatic fiber based on the total weight of components (a), (b), (c), (d), and (e). In one embodiment, garments made from the yarn provide thermal protection such that a wearer would experience less than a 65 percent predicted body burn when exposed to a flash fire exposure of 4 seconds per ASTM F1930, while maintaining a Category 2 arc rating.
摘要:
A woven fabric useful in protective apparel made from yarn components comprising a body fabric yarn component and a cut resistant ripstop yarn component having at least 50% greater tensile strength than the body fabric yarn component and comprising a yarn having a synthetic staple-fiber sheath and inorganic core, the body fabric yarn component and the cut resistant ripstop yarn component both being comprised of at least one yarn and each yarn component distinguished from the adjacent yarn component by interweaving orthogonal yarn components.
摘要:
A ply-twisted yarn useful in cut resistant fabrics is made by providing a first multifilament yarn of continuous organic filaments having a tensile strength of at least 4 grams per denier and having a twist in a first direction of from 0.5 to 10 turns per inch; providing a second yarn comprising 1 to 5 continuous inorganic filament(s); and ply-twisting the first yarn and the second yarn about each other 2 to 15 turns per inch in a second direction opposite to that of the twist in the first yarn to form a ply-twisted yarn having an overall effective twist of +/- 5 turns per inch.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a comfortable cut resistant fabric wherein metal fibers in the fabric are shielded from abrasive exposure by being wrapped with cut resistant staple fibers.
摘要:
A method of dyeing a blend of modacrylic fiber and aramid fiber employing a cationic dye and dye assistant employs a concentration of dye assistants not greater than 10 grams per liter of dye bath.
摘要:
Described is a flame-resistant spun yarn having: about 50 to about 95 parts by weight of a sulfonated polyoxadiazole based staple fiber comprising repeat units of Formula (I) and one or both of Formula (II) and (IIa): wherein M is a cation; and about 5 to about 50 parts by weight of a textile staple fiber having limiting oxygen index of 21 or greater and a tenacity of about 4 grams per denier or greater, based on the total amount of the polymeric fiber and the textile fiber in the yarn.
