Definitions
- the present invention relates to fabric and more specifically to a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric.
- Coolmax®, Coolplus®, and Bodycare Moisture® have been developed to reduce body temperature by wicking moisture away, but are mainly used in the sporting garment industry to keep the wearer cool.
- Some fireproof garments contain an inner lining of wicking material, but this adds to bulk to the garment, and the moisture can still be trapped inside the heat resistant layer eventually defeating the purpose of the fabric.
- Figure 1 is a flowchart diagram of some steps of a method for making a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric, according to one embodiment
- Figure 2 is an outside portion a new style chef 's coat made with the fabric
- Figure 3 is an inside portion of a new style chef 's coat made with the fabric.
- Figure 4 is another outside portion of a new style chef 's coat made with the fabric.
- a high performance fabric made from a plurality of high-performance fibers with an anti-microbial compound and an anti-stain compound.
- the high-performance fibers are polyester, where the high-performance polyester fibers are polyester microfibers for comfort.
- the anti-microbial compound is a wash resistant non-organic antibacterial or the anti-microbial compound is a non-organic microbicidal.
- the anti-stain compound is a hydrophobic compound, a superhydrophobic compound or both a hydrophobic compound and a superhydrophobic compound.
- the anti-stain compound is polytetrafluoroethylene, silicone or both polytetrafluoroethylene and silicone.
- the anti-stain compound is
- the fabric has additional flame resistant fibers interwoven with the high-performance fibers to increase flame resistance, where the flame resistant fibers are aramid fibers.
- the fabric has between 10% and 50% of additional flame resistant fibers.
- the fabric comprises 50% of additional flame resistant fibers.
- a method making a high performance fabric by first creating a flame resistant fabric blend comprising inherently flame resistant fibers. Then, coating the flame resistant fabric blend with an anti-microbial compound. Finally, coating the flame resistant fabric blend with an anti-stain compound affixed to the high-performance fibers.
- the flame resistant fabric blend is made of polyester microfibers, where the flame resistant fabric blend is comprises polyester microfibers and aramid fibers. The the fabric is drawn through a water-based dispersion to coat the fabric with the polytetrafluoroethylene, where the water is heated to a temperature
- the fabric is drawn through a silicone- based dispersion to coat the fabric with silicone, where the silicone-based dispersion solution is heated to a temperature of approximately 70° C. and 100° C.
- the fabric is then spray coated with a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic compound.
- the present invention overcomes the limitations of the prior art by providing a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric.
- the embodiments may be described as a process that is depicted as a flowchart, a flow diagram, a structure diagram, or a block diagram.
- the flowcharts and block diagrams in the figures can illustrate the architecture, functionality, and operation of possible implementations of systems, methods, products and devices according to various embodiments disclosed.
- the functions noted in the blocks may occur out of the order noted in the figures.
- a flowchart may describe the operations as a sequential process, many of the operations can be performed in parallel or concurrently.
- the order of the operations may be rearranged.
- a process is terminated when all its operations are completed.
- a process may correspond to a method, a function, a procedure, etc.
- flame resistant refers to a treatment or a natural properly that provides self-extinguishing capabilities when exposed to an ignition source.
- Various embodiments provide a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric.
- One embodiment of the present invention provides a method for making a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric.
- a product for using the fabric there is provided. The system and method will now be disclosed in detail.
- a flowchart diagram 100 of some steps of a method for making a heat resistant, stain resistant, and anti-bacterial fabric is created.
- the fabric is a flame resistant fabric blend comprising inherently flame resistant fibersl02, such as, for example polyester.
- the flame resistant fabric blend is coated with an anti-microbial/bactirial compound 104.
- the flame resistant fabric blend is coated with an anti-stain compound.
- the polyester in the flame resistant fabric blend is preferably comprised of polyester microfibers for comfort and durability.
- the flame resistant fabric blend can comprise a combination of polyester microfibers and aramid fibers interwoven with each other.
- polyester is a naturally flame resistant material
- the addition of aramid fibers can add additional flame resistance, durability and stain protection.
- the amount of aramid fibers should not exceed 50% of the total fabric weight so that the more rigid aramid fibers will not reduce the flexibility of the overall fabric or add additional bulk to finished garments made from the fabric.
- To coat the high performance fabric with an anti-stain compound 106 the fabric is drawn through a water-based dispersion with the polytetrafluoroethylene. To permeate the fabric, the water is heated to a temperature approximately between 70° C. and 100° C. This will loosen the fiber so that the polytetrafluoroethylene can fully impregnate the fabric.
- the fabric can be drawn through a silicone-based dispersion to coat the fabric with silicone.
- the silicone-based dispersion solution is heated to a temperature of approximately 70° C. and 100° C to loosen the fibers and allow for deep penetration.
- the fabric is coated with polytetrafluoroethylene as it is more durable through repeated washings than the silicone.
- the polytetrafluoroethylene adds a brightness and sheen to the fabric that is desirable for use in the finished garments.
- the fabric can be sprayed with a hydrophobic or superhydrophobic compound in addition to the polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone treatment. This would add an extra layer of stain protection to the fabric.
- current hydrophobic and superhydrophobic compounds are not as resistant to repeated washing and would need to be re-applied periodically, typically after every 10 washes.
- FIG. 2 there is shown an outside portionn 200 a new style chef 's coat 202 made with the fabric disclosed above.
- a new style of chef 's coat 202 has been made with the fabric.
- chef 's coats are made from cotton and other cellulous materials that stain easily and require heavy duty cleaning compounds to remove stains that are typically encountered on a daily basis.
- Some currently available chef 's coats use polyester, however, they do not have the additional properties of the disclosed fabric. As noted above, polyester is inherently flame retardant, and therefore doesn't flare up when applied to various levels of flame or heat.
- any amount of heat delivered within a long enough time interval will have no impact on the fabrics' integrity while a limited amount of heat delivered within short enough time interval may ignite or melt the fabric.
- polyester by itself also traps heat within the garment making it uncomfortable to wear for extended periods of time.
- the disclosed fabric uses a breathable microfiber polyester that retains the original properties of the material while adding additional comfort by wicking away moisture from the wearer.
- the treated fabric will also maintain the garments good looks throughout a shift making the cooking staff look professional at all times.
- the stain repellent nature of the treated fabric will prevent messes due to cooking.
- the antimicrobial coating of the fabric will reduce the change of food contamination from outside sources and eliminate body odor and other bacterial sources from inside the garment.
- the new style chef 's coat also comprises power mesh inserts 204 under the arms for additional garment breathability.
- FIG 3 there is shown an inside view 300 of a new style chef 's coat 202 made with the fabric.
- the inner portion 302 of the new style chef 's coat is made from the same or similar fabric to the outside 200. Similar fabric can have a greater amount of microfibers so that the inner portion 302 is more comfortable to wear or it can provide better moisture wicking or heat resistance as needed for the job.
- the outer portion 200 Referring now to Figure 4, there is shown another outside portion 400 of a new style chef 's coat made with the fabric. As can be seen, this outside portion 400 is more tailored and suitable to a female chef. Additionally, a micromesh insert 402 runs the length of the sleeve, not just the underarms 204. This can be used in very hot kitchens or just as a stylish addition to the kitchen.
