Embodiment Construction

[0015] As set forth above, military personnel, first responders, petrochemical workers, electrical linemen, etc. need garments that are extremely flexible and provide the requisite safety from flash fire and flame. Specifically, the invention provides a stretch-woven fabric that has good stretch and recovery, flame resistance, static dissipative properties and limited spectral reflectance in compliance with MIL-C-83429. Additionally, the material is dimensionally stable, colorfast, and pill resistant in compliance with MIL-C-29567.

[0016] According to the invention, a flame resistant fiber may be wrapped around an elastomeric fiber core. Various flash fire and flame resistant materials may be employed including but not limited to aramids, polyamides with para-phenylene group linkages, polyamides with meta-phenylene group linkages, polybenzimidazole, Nomex® 450 (crystallized Nomex®, Nomex® 455 (95 / 5 blend of Nomex® / Kevlar®), Nomex® 460 (85 / 15 blend of Nomex® / Kevlar®), Nomex® 462 (93 / ...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a multi-directional stretch fabric that has excellent flash fire and flame resistant qualities.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates to fabric manufacture, fabrics, and related articles. More particularly, the invention relates to methods and products having improved flash fire and flame resistance and flexibility for the wearer. DESCRIPTION OF RELATED ART [0002] It is known that various environments require specially crafted articles of clothing to protect the wearer. For example, military personnel, such as pilots, flight crews, tanker crews, special forces, aircraft carrier personnel, first responders, such as firemen, police and EMS workers, petrochemical workers, electrical linemen, etc. require clothing that protects them against flash fire and flame. Although certain protective clothing exists, this clothing is unacceptably rigid and, as such, fails to provide the wearer with the necessary flexibility or freedom of movement to allow the wearer to effectively perform necessary duties. [0003] U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,527,597 and 5,694,981 disclose a fabric ...
