  • the present invention relates to a fabric and fiber product having durable moisture absorbency in addition to flame retardance.
  • Fabric containing aramid fibers has conventionally been used in fire-fighting clothing and work clothes due to the superior flame retardance thereof.
  • fire-fighting clothing and work clothes had the problem of excessive perspiration since there are many opportunities for use in environments at high temperature and humidity.
  • priority was placed on protecting firefighters and workers from fire and the like, little consideration has been given to wear comfort of fabric.

  • the fabric further contains polyester fibers.
  • the aforementioned polyester fibers are preferably polyester fibers containing a flame retardant.
  • the aforementioned aramid fibers and/or the aforementioned electrically conductive fibers and/or the aforementioned polyester fibers are preferably contained in the fabric as spun yarn.

  • a fabric and textile product are obtained that have durable moisture absorbency in addition to flame retardance.
  • FIG. 1 is a weave structural diagram used in Example 3.
  • the fabric of the present contains aramid fibers (wholly aromatic polyamid fibers). Adequate flame retardance is unable to be obtained in the case aramid fibers are not contained in the fabric, thereby making this undesirable.

  • the meta-aramid fibers may be of the spun-dyed type or dyed type.
  • the meta-aramid fibers may also be of the flame retardant type that contains a flame retardant.

  • tetrabutylphosphonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate and tributylbenzylammonium dodecylbenzenesulfonate are particularly preferable since they are highly soluble in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and have favorable thermal stability.
  • the content ratio of the aforementioned alkylbenzenesulfonate onium salt is preferably 2.5 mol% or more, and more preferably within the range of 3.0 mol% to 7.0 mol%, based on the amount of poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) in order to obtain the effect of improving adequate dyeability.
  • mixing the poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) in a solvent and dissolving therein followed by dissolving the alkylbenzenesulfonate onium salt in the solvent may be used as an example of method for mixing the poly(m-phenylene isophthalamide) and alkylbenzenesulfonate onium salt.
  • a dope obtained in this manner is then formed into fibers according to a conventionally known method.
  • the polymer used for the meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fibers can also be obtained by polymerizing an aromatic diamine component or an aromatic dicarboxylic acid halide component in an aromatic polyamide backbone containing a repeating structural unit represented by the following formula (1), the aromatic diamine component and the dicarboxylic acid halide component having different primary constituent units of the repeating structures thereof, such that it is copolymerized as a third component at 1 mol% to 10 mol% based on the total amount of repeating structural units of the aromatic polyamide.
