Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a textile fabric. This fabric is particularly well suited for use as the outer shell fabric of a firefighter's garment. The fabric is a woven or knitted fabric of spun yarns and multi-filament yarns. The spun yarn includes a first staple being a polymer selected from the group consisting of aramid, PBI or PBO or melamine formaldehyde, and a second staple being an aramid polymer. The multi-filament yarn includes an aramid filament.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a yarn (1) for screening applications, especially for screening applications preventing solar heat while transmitting solar light, a fabric obtained from the yarn, and a manufacturing method thereof. The yarn (1) consists of at least one polyester outer yarn (5) wound on a polyester core yarn (2). The manufacturing method keeps the core and outer yarns at certain temperatures for certain durations after the core and outer yarns have been twisted.
Abstract:
The heat resistant separation fabric for use as tool cover in glass processing comprises heat resistant yarns (100). The heat resistant yarns comprise a core (110) and at least one wrap yarn (123, 125). The core is a core yarn. The core yarn is a multifilament glass yarn. The at least one wrap yarns (123, 125) comprises stainless steel fibers. The core yarn is present in the heat resistant yarn without crimp. The at least one wrap yarn is wrapped around the core yarn.
Abstract:
Optionally dyed woven fabrics and garments are disclosed that exhibit fire resistance, arc resistance, moisture management (water release rate and wicking), and abrasion resistance without the undesirable addition of topical treatments. Certain embodiments of the woven fabric are disclosed that comprise a plurality of weft yarns comprising a blend of fibers with inherently fire resistant fibers with superior moisture management properties and a plurality of warp yarns, optionally dyed, comprising cellulose derivatives. The woven fabrics are particularly useful in denim work clothes because they are comfortable to wear and exhibit fire resistance and abrasion resistance.
Abstract:
The present invention is to provide a fabric that has excellent economic efficiency and good texture, flame retardancy, and high visibility. The fabric of the present invention includes one side (an A side) mainly configured by yarns made of fibers capable of being dyed within color coordinates and in a luminance factor defined in ISO 20471, and the other side (a B side) mainly configured by blended spinning yarns made of flame-retardant fibers having a self-extinguishing property and non-melting fibers. The fibers capable of being dyed within the color coordinates and in the luminance factor defined by the ISO 20471 configuring the A side are made of any one of polyester fibers, nylon fibers, and/or acrylic fibers. The non-melting fibers and the self-extinguishing fibers configuring the B side are cellulose-based fibers and modacrylic fibers, respectively.
Abstract:
Composite yarns (10) have a filamentary core (10-1) provided with at least one elastic performance filament (12) and at least one inelastic control filament (14). A fibrous sheath (10-2), preferably formed from spun staple fibers (16), surrounds the filamentary core, preferably substantially along the entire length thereof. The at least one elastic performance filament (12) most preferably includes a spandex and/or a lastol filament. The at least one inelastic control filament (14) is most preferably formed of a textured polymer or copolymer of a polyamide, a polyester, a polyolefin and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the fibrous sheath (10-2) is formed of synthetic and/or natural staple fibers (16), most preferably staple cotton fibers. The elastic composite fibers find particular utility as a component part of a woven textile fabric, especially as a stretch denim fabric, which exhibits advantageous elastic recovery of at least about 95.0% (ASTM D3107).
Abstract:
Flame resistant fabrics that have incorporated into them cellulosic filament yarns. The cellulosic filament yarns may be flame resistant (either inherently FR or treated so as to be FR) or non-flame resistant. Fabrics according to some embodiments are formed entirely of cellulosic filament yarns. However, fabrics according to some embodiments include additional yarns to ensure that the fabric complies with NFPA 1971 and/or 2112.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a ceramic matrix composite (CMC) material including rare earth phosphate ceramic fibers embedded in a ceramic matrix, wherein the ceramic matrix also optionally includes a rare earth phosphate material. Methods for manufacturing the CMC material and gas turbine engine components formed of the CMC material are also disclosed.
