摘要:
This invention relates to a flame-resistant spun staple yarns and fabrics and garments comprising these yarns and methods of making the same. The yarns have 20 to 50 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 50 to 80 parts by weight of a rigid-rod staple fiber, based on 100 parts by weight of the polymeric fiber and the rigid-rod fiber in the yarn.

This invention relates to a cut-resistant knit glove comprising: a) cut-resistant composite yarn having a core yarn and at least one first wrapping yarn helically wrapped around the core yarn, the core yarn including at least one 50 to 200 denier (56 to 220 dtex) glass fiber filament yarn and the first wrapping yarn being one 100 to 600 denier (110 to 680 dtex) para-aramid yarn; b) companion yarn selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyamide, polyester, and mixtures thereof; and c) lining yarn comprising a composite yarn of from 100 to 500 denier (110 to 560 dtex), the composite yarn having an elastomeric yarn core comprising at least one elastomeric yarn and at least one second wrapping yarn helically wrapped around the yarn core, the second wrapping yarn including at least one 20 to 300 denier (22 to 340 dtex) yarn selected from the group consisting of aliphatic polyamide, polyester, natural fibers, cellulosic fibers, and mixtures thereof; wherein the cut-resistant composite yarn, the companion yarn, and the lining yarn are co-knit in the glove with the lining yarn plated on the interior of the glove and the cut-resistant composite yarn and companion yarn forming the exterior of the glove.
摘要:
A yarn, fabric, and garment suitable for use in arc and flame protection and having improved flash fire protection, consisting essentially of (a) 50 to 60 weight percent meta-aramid fiber having a degree of crystallinity of at least 20%; (b) 31 to 39 weight percent modacrylic fiber; and (c) 5 to 15 weight percent para-aramid fiber; said percentages on the basis of components (a), (b), and (c). In some embodiments, 1 to 3 weight percent of the meta-aramid fiber is replaced with an antistatic fiber comprising carbon or metal with the proviso that at least 50 weight percent meta-aramid fiber is maintained. 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.

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%, 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:
The invention concerns a flame-resistant garment having an outer shell fabric comprising 5 to 40 parts by weight of a polybenzobisoxazole fiber and 60 to 95 parts by weight of a polypridobisimidazole fiber having an inherent viscosity of greater than 20 dl/g.
摘要:
The invention concerns a flame-resistant spun staple yarns and fabrics and garments comprising these yarns and methods of making the same. The yarns have at least 25 parts by weight of a polymeric staple fiber containing a polymer or copolymer derived from a monomer selected from the group consisting of 4,4′diaminodiphenyl sulfone, 3,3′diaminodiphenyl sulfone, and mixtures thereof; 2 to 15 parts by weight of a fiber having low thermal shrinkage; 1 to 5 parts by weight of an antistatic fiber; and the remainder being flame resistant fibers having a limiting oxygen index of 21 or greater, based on 100 total parts by weight of the polymeric fiber, the low thermal shrinkage fiber, the antistatic fiber, and the flame resistant fibers in the yarn.
摘要:
An intimate blend of staple fibers has from 10 to 75 parts by weight of at least one aramid staple fiber, from 15 to 80 parts by weight of at least one modacrylic staple fiber, and from 5 to 30 parts by weight of at least one polyamide staple fiber. The intimate blend of staple fibers provides yarns and fabrics that are flame retardant, also referred to as fire resistant, and can be used to make flame retardant articles, such as clothing. The flame retardant fabrics may have a basis weight from 4 to 15 ounces per square yard.
摘要:
The present invention relates to cut resistant yarns. More particularly, it relates to a cut resistant yarn comprising a plurality of cut resistant filaments and at least one elastomeric filament, as well as fabrics and articles such as gloves, comprising such cut resistant yarns.
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:
This invention relates to an article of thermal protective clothing having fabric woven with a warp-faced or weft-faced twill weave that incorporates a first yarn forming the majority of the outer article surface that includes hydrophilic fiber and a first flame resistant fiber, with at least 25 weight percent of that first yarn being hydrophilic fiber; and a second yarn forming the majority of the inner article surface that includes at least 80 weight percent of a second flame resistant fiber that is hydrophobic. Alternatively, the first yarn forming the majority of the outer article surface can include a hydrophilic first flame resistant fiber.
