Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of personal safety protection technology, specifically relating to a high-visibility, flame-retardant, antistatic, and anti-arc double-sided fleece fabric. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous advancement of industrial technology and the increasing awareness of safety, the demand for fabrics with special properties is becoming increasingly urgent. In certain working environments, such as the power industry and chemical industry, workers face a high risk of fire and electric arc. Simultaneously, the accumulation of static electricity can also pose a danger. While traditional double-sided fleece fabrics offer some warmth and comfort, they have significant shortcomings in terms of visibility, flame retardancy, antistatic properties, and arc protection. Regarding visibility, they cannot meet the requirements for clear identification of workers in low-light or complex environments. The lack of flame retardancy means that the fabric cannot effectively prevent the spread of fire in the event of a fire, increasing the risk of personal injury and property damage. Insufficient antistatic properties lead to static electricity accumulation, which may cause spark discharge, resulting in fire or other safety hazards. The lack of arc protection fails to provide adequate protection for workers.
[0003] To meet these needs, the development of a highly visible, flame-retardant, antistatic, and arc-resistant double-sided fleece fabric has become an urgent priority. While some attempts have been made in related technical fields to improve fabric performance, several issues remain. For example, certain flame-retardant treatments may affect other fabric properties, such as comfort and durability. Antistatic treatments may not be long-lasting, and performance may degrade after multiple washes. Therefore, an innovative technology is needed to address these problems, providing a double-sided fleece fabric that combines high visibility, good flame retardancy, excellent antistatic properties, and reliable arc-resistant capabilities. The development of this patented technology will provide better safety guarantees for workers in related fields, improving work safety and efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0029] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0030] 1. This fabric has a unique and stylish surface, making it suitable for protective fleece outerwear products in autumn and winter. Its fleece structure provides excellent warmth.
[0031] 2. Outstanding flame-retardant and antistatic properties: Because it uses permanently flame-retardant materials, washing will not affect the fabric's flame-retardant and antistatic properties. The main components of this fabric are flame-retardant acrylic fiber and long-staple cotton, with conductive fibers added during the spinning process. The flame-retardant acrylic fiber has a limiting oxygen index of 32%, combined with the natural cellulose fiber long-staple cotton, ensuring the fabric has excellent flame-retardant and arc-resistant properties. The addition of a small amount of conductive fibers during the spinning process gives the fabric a certain degree of antistatic capability.
[0032] 3. Structurally, this utility model selects a double-sided fleece structure, which is different from conventional structures. For the same weight, single-sided fleece fabric is thicker and more three-dimensional, with more contact with air and can retain more air, giving the fabric better warmth and heat insulation performance. The surface layer carbonizes faster when exposed to flames or electric arcs to form a protective layer, which can better protect the inside of the fabric and the skin from damage. Unlike single-sided fleece structures, double-sided fleece fabric is more comfortable to the skin, fluffier overall, and has a better warmth retention effect.
[0033] 4. This fabric is flame retardant and has good antistatic properties. It has passed the tests of European flame retardant standards EN11612, EN14116 and EN11611, and has a calorific value of up to 20.67 cal under the European arc protection standard IEC-61482.
[0034] 5. Nylon 66 increases the strength of yarns and fabrics, improving the physical properties of fabrics, such as pilling resistance and bursting strength. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0038] The following non-limiting embodiments are intended to enable those skilled in the art to fully understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, a high-visibility, flame-retardant, antistatic, and arc-resistant double-sided fleece fabric includes a top layer 1, a middle layer 2, and a bottom layer 3. The middle layer 2 connects the top layer 1 and the bottom layer 3 respectively. The upper surface of the top layer 1 is provided with a top fleece surface, and the lower surface of the bottom layer 3 is provided with a bottom fleece surface. The fabric is manufactured using a knitting process.
[0041] The fabric is woven from a blended yarn, which consists of 55% modified flame-retardant acrylic fiber, 33% cotton fiber, 10% nylon, and 2% conductive fiber. The spinning method is compact Sirospun. The fabric weight is 310 g / m². 2 .
[0042] The modified flame-retardant acrylic fiber (high-resistance acrylic staple fiber from Hangzhou Shenghong Textile Technology Co., Ltd.) in the blended yarn of the fabric has a fineness of 1.33 DTEX, a fiber length of 38 mm, and a limiting oxygen index of 32%. It is a flame-retardant fiber that will not burn immediately upon contact with a flame and will stop burning immediately after being removed from the flame and is not prone to afterburning.
[0043] The cotton fiber in the blended yarn of the fabric is long-staple cotton, with a fiber fineness of 1.9D and a fiber length of 38mm. Long-staple cotton is a natural cellulose fiber. The addition of modified flame-retardant acrylic fiber and cellulose fiber in a certain proportion can optimize the flame retardancy of the fabric. The addition of long-staple cotton enhances the flame retardant performance of the fabric, and the good skin-friendliness of natural cellulose fiber makes the fabric more comfortable.
[0044] The nylon in the blended yarn of the fabric is nylon 66, with a fiber fineness of 1.5D and a fiber length of 38mm. Nylon has good abrasion resistance and resilience. Adding this component to the yarn increases the strength of the yarn, resulting in a more crisp, abrasion-resistant fabric with extended service life and sustainability.
[0045] The conductive fiber in the blended yarn of the fabric is carbon-type Belltron, with a fiber fineness of 1D and a fiber length of 38mm. Its parent polymer is polyester, with a circular cross-section and an outer ring of carbon-type conductive particles.
[0046] The fabric is a three-layer fabric, using two types of yarn:
[0047] Yarn 1: 55% modified flame retardant acrylic, 33% long-staple cotton, 10% nylon, 2% conductive fiber 32S, i.e. 32S blended yarn, denoted as 32S flame retardant yarn.
[0048] Yarn 2: 55% modified flame retardant acrylic, 33% long-staple cotton, 10% nylon, 2% conductive fiber 10S, i.e. 10S blended yarn, denoted as 10S flame retardant yarn.
[0049] The fabric is processed on a circular weft knitting machine with a tube size of 30 inches and a stitch length (distance between two knit or purl needles) of 20 stitches / inch. The specific processing steps for the fabric are as follows: Two sections of knit needles and two sections of purl needles are selected. Based on the fabric structure requirements, the knit needles are arranged in a 1,2 pattern, and the purl needles in a 1,2 pattern (1,2 pattern is a two-needle cycle, i.e., 1 stitch followed by 2 stitches, 2 stitches followed by 1 stitch). The following needles are not in operation (float yarn) and are in operation (loop formation).
[0050] First row: 32S flame retardant yarn, knitting needle 1 section working, knitting needle 2 section not working, knitting needle 1 section not working, knitting needle 2 section tucked together.

[0056] Seventh row: 32S flame retardant yarn, the first and second knitting needles are not working, the first knitting needle is knitted in a loop, and the second knitting needle is working.
[0057] Eighth row: 10S flame retardant yarn, the first and second knitting needles are not working, the first knitting needle is knitted in a loop, and the second knitting needle is working.
[0058] The resulting fabric structure is as follows Figure 3 As shown: × represents a circled point, · represents a clustered point, and spaces represent floating lines.
[0059] The first row corresponds to two working stitches in the knitting pattern; the second row corresponds to one working stitch in the knitting pattern; the third row corresponds to two working stitches in the purling pattern; and the fourth row corresponds to one working stitch in the purling pattern.
[0060] The blended yarn is woven into a three-layer fabric using the above method. Further processing is required, and the process flow is as follows: batching – loading – degreasing – acid / cationic co-bath – reduction cleaning – reactive dyeing – soaping – cotton color fixing – intermediate fixing – soaping – acid color fixing – wet friction treatment – finished product setting – finished product inspection – outer layer napping and tumbling – soaping – drying and setting; among which, after soaping, a cooling water wash is performed until the water is clear; the setting temperature for color fixing is controlled at around 90 degrees Celsius.
