摘要:
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.

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.
摘要:
A yarn, fabric, and garment suitable for use in arc and flame protection and having improved flash fire protection contains a majority, by weight, of meta-aramid fibers having a degree of crystallinity of at least 20 percent and a minority of modacrylic fibers, para-aramid fibers, and antistatic fibers. Garments made from the yarns 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 per ASTM F1959 and NFPA 70E.
摘要:
This invention relates to flame-resistant spun staple yarns and fabrics and garments comprising these yarns and methods of making the same. The yarns have 50 to 95 parts by weight of a polymeric staple fiber containing a structure derived from a monomer selected from the group consisting of 4, 4 ' diaminodiphenyl sulfone, 3, 3 ' diaminodiphenyl sulfone, and mixtures thereof; and 5 to 50 parts by weight of a high modulus staple fiber having a tensile modulus of 200 grams per denier (180 grams per dtex) or greater, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymeric fiber and the high modulus fiber in the yarn.
摘要:
The invention is directed to a method of preparing a fire resistant corespun yarn. The yarn includes a core surrounded by a first sheath and a second sheath.

Disclosed are simulated rip stop fabrics (200). In one embodiment, a simulated rip stop fabric includes a plurality of body yarns (206) that form a body of the fabric, and a plurality of pseudo rip stop yarns (208) that are provided individually in discrete portions of the fabric body so as to form a grid pattern. The pseudo rip stop yarns (208)comprising at least three individual yarns that are plied together.
