(a) a first set of yarns comprising modacrylic fibers;
(b) a second set of yarns comprising anti-static fibers; and (b) wherein, the fabric meets the Federal Test Method Standard 191A, Method 5931 for electrostatic decay, and the Electrostatic Discharge Association Advisory ADV11.2-1995 voltage potential.
2. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein said anti-static fibers are stainless steel fibers.
3. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein the second set of yarns comprise a blend of modacrylic fibers and stainless steel fibers.
4. The fabric of Claim 3 wherein the second set of yarns comprise about 20 percent stainless steel fibers.
5. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein the first set of yarns further comprise high energy absorptive fibers.
6. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein the fabric comprises at least about 1 percent anti-static yarns.
7. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein the first and second set of yarns comprise at least about 85 percent of the fabric.
8. The fabric of Claim 1 further comprising a dye applied to said fabric, wherein when the dye is applied to said fabric, the dyed fabric meets the American National Standard Institute standard ANSI/ISEA-107 minimum conspicuity level class requirements for occupational activities for high-visibility safety apparel.
9. The fabric of Claim 5 wherein said modacrylic fibers and said high energy absorptive fibers are intimately blended staple fibers.
10. The fabric of Claim 5 wherein the fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM F-1506 for flame resistance.
11. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein said fabric is woven.
12. The fabric of Claim 5 wherein said yarn comprises between about 70 percent and 97 percent modacrylic fibers and between about 3 percent and 30 percent high energy absorptive fibers.
13. The fabric of Claim 9 wherein said blend of fibers comprises between about 90 percent and 97 percent modacrylic fibers and at least about 3 percent high energy absorptive fibers.
14. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein said modacrylic fibers contain at least 50 percent acrylonitrile.
15. The fabric of Claim 1 wherein said modacrylic fibers have a tenacity of at least about 2 grams/denier.
