Description

WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 FABRIC AND YARN FOR PROTECTIVE GARMENTS Field of the Invention The invention is directed to a fabric and a yarn used to make protective garments. Background of the Invention Protective clothing refers to primary and secondary protective clothing (per ASTM Standard F1002-86). Primary protective clothing is designed for activities where significant exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat, or flame is likely to occur. Secondary protective clothing, on the other hand, is designed for continuous wear in areas where intermittent exposure to molten substance splash, radiant heat, and/or flame is possible. Protective clothing in the work place is important because it is the employer's responsibility to identify risks and hazards in the workplace and seek out appropriate protective garments and equipment for the protection of workers. Common workplace hazards include, for example: flammable liquids, flammable soils, molten metals, sparks, slag from flame cutting, welding, open flames, high voltage electrical discharges, electric arc events, vapors from WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 volatile liquids, and combustible dusts. These hazards may be encountered in foundries, at electrical utilities, in the chemical, oil, gas and petrochemical industries, in auto racing, to mention a few. Fabrics have been developed for use in protective clothing. Those fabrics may be made with treated fibers, inherently flame resistant fibers, or combinations thereof. A treated fiber is, typically, a conventional textile fiber that has been treated with a flame retardant, a chemical substance used to impart flame resistance. For example, two treated fibers are FR cotton or FR rayon, both FR cellulosics. Inherently flame resistant fibers are those fibers that have flame resistance as an essential characteristic of the fiber. For example, inherently flame resistant fibers include: aramids, polyamide imides, melamines, polybenzimidazole (PBI), polyimides, polyphenylene benzodisoxazole (PBO), polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), polyetherether ketone (PEEK), and the like. Most often, these fibers are blended together to obtain a yarn for a fabric with a particular blend of properties. Those properties include thermal protection, static resistance, comfort, durability, stability, appearance, ease of laundry maintenance, color, and relative cost. 2 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 Popular fabrics include: PBI GOLD®, NOMEX®, NOMEX* IIIA, COMFORT BLEND, NOMEX Freestyle, and INDURA* ULTRASOFT. PBI GOLD is a 40% PBI/60% aramid blend (all % are by weight of the fabric). NOMEX* is a blend of 95% meta-aramid (NOMEX) fiber/5% para-aramid (KEVLAR) fiber. NOMEX IIIA is a blend of 93% meta-aramid (NOMEX) fiber/5% para-aramid (KEVLAR) fiber/2% static dissipative fiber. COMFORT BLEND is 65% NOMEX IIIA/35% FR rayon blend. NOMEX Freestyle is 93% NOMEX IIIA/5% para-aramid (KEVLAR) fiber/2% antistatic fiber. INDURA ULTRASOFT is 88% FR cotton/12% nylon blend. Each of these fabrics has its own unique blend of properties. Flame Resistant Protective Apparel, An Industry Update 2001/2002, Bulwark Protective Apparel, a Division of VF Workwear, Inc., Nashville, TN, incorporated herein by reference. There exists, however, a need for new fabrics that will meet new and emerging needs of the industry. Summary of the Invention The present invention is a yarn or fabric useful in protective garments. The yarn or fabric is made of flame resistant fibers and microdenier flame resistant fibers. The flame resistant fibers are selected from the group consisting of inherently flame resistant fibers, treated fibers, and combinations thereof. The microdenier flame resistant fibers are selected from the group consisting of 3 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 microdenier inherently flame resistant fibers, microdenier treated fibers, and combinations thereof. The weight ratio of said flame resistant fibers to said microdenier flame resistant fibers is in the range of 4-9:2-6. Description of the Invention Fabrics are planar structures made of fibers and/or yarns assembled by various means such as weaving, knitting, tufting, felting, braiding, or bonding of webs to give the structure sufficient strength and other properties required for its intended use. A yarn is a generic term for a continuous strand of textile fibers, filaments, or materials in a form suitable for knitting, weaving, or otherwise intertwining to form a fabric. Yarn occurs, for example, in the following forms: (1) a number of fibers (e.g., staple) twisted together (spun yarn); (2) a number of filaments laid together without twist (a zero-twist yarn); (3) a number of filaments laid together with a degree of twist; (4) a single filament with or without twist (a monofilament); or (5) a narrow strip of materials, such as paper, plastic film, or metal foil, with or without twist, intended for use in a textile construction. The yarns and fabrics discussed hereinafter are preferably used as secondary protective clothing, but may be used otherwise, for example, as primary protective clothing. The garments formed from these yarns and fabrics include, but are not limited to, 4 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 shirts, pants, coveralls, overalls, jackets, liners, coats, parkas, headwear, and footwear. The fabrics may be laminated or combined with other fabrics or materials to enhance functionality. The fabrics are preferably woven or knitted. Woven fabrics include plain, twill, and satin weaves. Knitted fabrics include warp and weft knitted fabrics. The fabrics are preferably made of the yarn hereinafter described, but are not so limited. Instead, fabrics within the scope of present invention have a weight ratio of flame resistant fibers (i.e., inherently flame resistant fibers and treated fibers) to microdenier flame resistant fibers (i.e., inherently flame resistant fibers and treated fibers having microdeniers) is in the range of 4-9:2-6. Preferably, the ratio is 1:1. Alternatively, the ratio of inherently flame resistant fibers:microdenier flame resistant fibers:treated fibers is in the range of 1-3:2-6:3-6. Preferably, the ratio is 2:5:3. Other fibers may be added so long as the foregoing ratios are maintained. For example, a conventional textile fiber could be added to a blend having the foregoing ratio. The invention will be further described with reference to a yarn, it being understood that the foregoing fabric discussion is applicable to the following yarn as well as the following is applicable to foregoing fabric discussion. 5 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 The yarn comprises: 10-30% by weight of the yarn of an inherently flame resistant fiber (filament or staple); 20-60% by weight of a microdenier flame resistant fiber (filament or staple); and 20-60% by weight of a treated fiber (filament or staple). Preferably, the yarn comprises 20% of the inherently flame resistant fiber; 50% of the microdenier flame resistant fiber; and 30% of the treated fiber. The inherently flame resistant fibers may be selected from the group consisting of: aramids, polyamide imides; melamines, polybenzimidazoles (PBI), polyimides, polyphenylene benzodisoxazoles (PBO), polyphenylene sulfides (PPS), polyether ketones (PEK), and polyetherether ketones (PEEK), and the like. These fibers are known and commercially available. For example, aramids (meta-aramids and para-aramids) are available as TWARON*, CONEXO, and TECHNORA* from Teijin Co. of Osaka, Japan; NOMEX* and KEVLAR* from DuPont of Wilmington, Delaware; P84 from Imitech of Austria; and KERMEL* from Kermel Company of Colmar, France. Melamines (melamine formaldehydes) are available as BASOFILe from Basofil Fibers LLC of Charlotte, North Carolina. PBI is available from Celanese Advanced Mateirals, Inc, of Charlotte, North Carolina. PBO is available as ZYLON* from Toyobo Co. Ltd. of 6 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 Osaka, Japan. The preferred inherently flame resistant fibers include aramids, melamines, PBI, and PBO. Most preferred is PBI. The treated fiber may be any conventional fiber that has been treated with a conventional flame retardant. For example, treated fibers may include FR cellulosics. Cellulosics include cotton, rayon, acetate, and triacetate. Preferred treated fibers FR cotton and FR rayon. Most preferred is FR rayon. The microdenier flame resistant fiber may be any inherently flame resistant fiber or treated fiber having a denier less than 1 (or 0.1 tex per filament, or a diameter less than 10 microns). Preferably, this fiber is a microdenier inherently flame resistant fiber. Most preferably, this fiber is a microdenier aramid, for example, microdenier TWARON® from Teijin Co. of Osaka, Japan. The yarns are made in a conventional fashion. Moreover, the yarns may include -other conventional textile fibers (natural or man-made) provided that the addition of such fibers does not have a detrimental impact on the overall performance of the yarns, fabric, or garment. The foregoing invention may be better understood with reference to the following non-limiting examples. 7 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 In the Table, the invention is compared to other fabrics used in protective garments. The test methods are set forth in the Table. INV refers to the inventive fabric which was made from yarns consisting of 20% PBI staple, 50% microdenier aramid (0.8 denier per filament, 2 inch (5cm) staple), and 30% FR rayon. The comparative materials were conventional fabrics as noted above. 8 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 u r 9 :t en "n oq OC qen' e n0 0 0 C, -2 -- -, or En 0C C 0 - CC 11 10 0 0 oC - - !- - 0 ~C, ,PC q. 10 - r- n n0 CO f- 00 en~~~ - en -ezn e 9 9 6 F- C) - 0 en C, CDr e C) Q en0 t-- 1 C) 0- en Oe5 06 g6 6 r nn 6: 6C 6 In 10 en en7n - 6 r'i 00 n '~ ~ 9 en~ - C) e e en~~ ene C) 0 ' 9 00 6 -n) u ~ C4 a 10 C 6 ~ 6 >n r en -E en 0 Z7 'C r n ' en en 00r n 00 ' ' zC e n ' ~ e ~ 6 e 6 ~ 6 en 0 0 en ~ 'C 0 ' ~ en - - - - en~ 0 6 6~Ce '~~'~~ < u n ~ ~ C _ - 'C n n eco n oe - ~9 WO 2004/106606 PCT/US2004/013830 ~~a &rr- -0 C: 0-0- 1rr NQ N 06 0 0 ~q 0600 00 .0 _0 0 0 -~f= - - 04 C- - 06 A -4 'D OC 04 M 0: -j -- 06 -1 00- 4-)0 ~ 0~C- - - LL CL Z 0L 4 01 044 Cl) 8 r0- 0 - CA 0~ 1.
