Definitions

  • the present invention relates to protective fabrics, and more specifically to flame resistant fabrics, having a unique blend of fibers and garments made from such fabrics.
  • protective garments constructed of flame resistant materials designed to protect them from electrical arc flash and/or flames.
  • protective clothing can include various garments, for example, coveralls, pants, and shirts. Fabrics from which such garments are constructed, and consequently the resulting garments as well, are required to pass a variety of safety and/or performance standards, including ASTM F 1506, NFPA 2112, NFPA 70E, MIL C 43829C.
  • cotton fibers pose a health hazard to personnel during the fiber spinning and fabric weaving processes.
  • the cotton fibers can be inhaled and over time can cause respiratory problems, which can lead to byssinosis or “brown lung” disease.
  • Work environments where personnel work with natural cotton and are exposed to breathing hazardous cotton fibers are thus subject to governmental and regulatory restrictions for handling and processing of such fibers.
  • cotton fibers are not inherently flame resistant and thus apt to burn.
  • these fibers or the yarns or fabrics made with such fibers
  • Treatment of cotton fibers (or the yarns or fabrics made with such fibers) with an FR compound significantly increases the cost of such fibers (or the yarns or fabrics made with such fibers).
  • cotton fibers have been combined with FR modacrylic fibers.
  • the FR modacrylic fibers control and counteract the flammability of the cotton fibers to prevent the cotton fibers from burning. In this way, the cotton fibers (or the yarns or fabrics made with such fibers) need not be treated with a FR compound.
  • FR modacrylic fibers have durability problems similar to those of cotton, and thus fabrics made with blends of these fibers have poor wear life.
  • both natural cotton fibers and FR modacrylic fibers are relatively unstable after thermal exposure, rendering it difficult if not impossible for fabrics made with only these fibers to pass the requisite safety and performance standards for protective garments.
  • additional inherently FR fibers, such as aramid fibers have been added to the fiber blend to impart thermal stability to the blend to ensure compliance of the resulting fabric with the requisite safety and performance standards (e.g., by decreasing char lengths in vertical flame tests of such fabrics).
  • This invention discloses unique blends of fibers that incorporate synthetic cellulosic fibers to render fabrics made with such blends more durable than fabrics made with natural cellulosic fibers such as cotton. While more durable than cotton, the synthetic cellulosic fibers used in the blends are still inexpensive and comfortable to the wearer. Thus, the benefits of cotton (affordability and comfort) are still attained while a drawback of cotton—low durability—is avoided.
  • the resulting fabrics made with the fiber blends disclosed herein are flame resistant, durable, comfortable, and affordable.
  • the fiber blend includes FR modacrylic fibers and synthetic cellulosic fibers, preferably, but not necessarily non-FR lyocell fibers such as TENCELTM and TENCEL A100TM.
  • the FR modacrylic fibers and the synthetic cellulosic fibers can be combined in any blend ratio but are preferably, although not necessarily, combined so that the percentage of FR modacrylic fibers in the blend is greater than the percentage of synthetic cellulosic fibers in the blend.
  • Other fibers may be added to the blend, including, but not limited to, additional types of inherently FR fibers, anti-static fibers, anti-microbial fibers, stretch fibers, and/or high tenacity fibers.
  • the fiber blends disclosed herein may be used to form various types of FR fabrics.
  • the fibers may be used to form nonwoven fabrics or may first be formed into yarn that is subsequently woven or knitted into a FR fabric.
  • yarns are formed from a fiber blend having approximately 30-60% FR modacrylic fibers, approximately 20-60% synthetic cellulosic fibers, and approximately 5-30% additional inherently FR fibers.
  • TENCELTM and particularly TENCEL A100TM both non-FR synthetic cellulosic fibers
  • para-aramid fibers inherently FR fibers
  • the yarns can subsequently be used to form FR fabrics in a variety of ways (e.g. weaving, knitting, etc.), all well known in the industry.
  • Fabrics made from the unique fiber blends disclosed herein comply with a variety of the thermal protection standards, rendering them suitable for use in protective garments.
  • Desired colors may be imparted in a variety of ways and with a variety of dyes to the fabrics disclosed herein having a blend of synthetic cellulosic, FR modacrylic, and optionally additional inherently FR fibers.
  • the fabrics may be dyed or printed to comply with the standard for high-visibility safety apparel known in the industry as ANSI 107-2004 (and the European equivalent EN 471) as well as with the military's infrared reflective requirements (including, but not limited to, those promulgated under MIL-C-83429 and GL-PD-07-12 (Feb. 28, 2007)).
  • Fabrics having the fibers blends disclosed herein can be used to construct the entirety of, or various portions of, a variety of protective garments for protecting the wearer against electrical arc flash and flames, including, but not limited to, coveralls, jumpsuits, shirts, jackets, vests, and trousers.
  • a fabric having blends of fibers disclosed herein is used to form at least a portion of an advanced combat shirt.
  • the fiber blend includes FR modacrylic fibers and manmade or synthetic cellulosic fibers.
  • the FR modacrylic fibers and the synthetic cellulosic fibers can be combined in any blend ratio but are preferably, although not necessarily, combined so that the percentage of FR modacrylic fibers in the blend is greater than the percentage of synthetic cellulosic fibers in the blend.
  • any FR modacrylic fibers able to extinguish non-FR fibers may be used, including, but not limited to, PROTEXTM fibers (including but not limited to PROTEX WTM and PROTEX CTM fibers) available from Kaneka Corporation of Osaka, Japan, SEFTM available from Solutia, or blends thereof.
  • the synthetic cellulosic fibers may be, but are not limited to, rayon, FR rayon, lyocell, MODALTM, cellulose acetate, or blends thereof.
  • An example of a suitable rayon fiber is Viscose by Lenzing, available from Lenzing Fibers Corporation.
  • lyocell fibers include TENCELTM and TENCEL A100TM, both available from Lenzing Fibers Corporation.
  • FR rayon fibers include Lenzing FRTM, also available from Lenzing Fibers Corporation, and VISILTM, available from Sateri.
  • the synthetic fibers used in the blends disclosed herein can be, but preferably are not, FR-treated given that they are being blended with FR modacrylic fibers that control and counteract the flammability of the synthetic fibers to prevent such fibers from burning.
  • Use of synthetic cellulosic fibers that have not been FR-treated significantly reduces the cost of such fibers (e.g., approximately $1/pound for non-FR treated synthetic cellulosic fibers vs. approximately $6/pound for FR-treated synthetic cellulosic fibers).
  • Non-FR lyocell fibers such as TENCELTM and TENCEL A100TM fibers have proven to be particularly suitable in this application. While similar to cotton fibers in that these fibers are inexpensive and comfortable, they are more durable than natural cotton fibers and have proven very resistant to abrasion and very moisture absorbent. Consequently, fabrics made from these fibers have long wear life and are comfortable to the wearer. TENCEL A100TM fibers are less susceptible to fibrillation, which results when the ends of the fibers split to impart a fuzzy or prematurely worn appearance to garments made with such fibers. It has been found that fabrics made with TENCEL A100TM fibers are thus better able to retain their appearance even after repeated launderings. Moreover, unlike natural cotton typically used in these blends, because these cellulosic fibers are manmade fibers, they consequently do not pose a breathing hazard to personnel during the fiber spinning or fabric fabrication process.
  • an additional type (or types) of inherently FR fibers may be added to the FR modacrylic/synthetic cellulosic fiber blend.
  • the additional inherently FR fibers may include, but do not have to include, para-aramid fibers, meta-aramid fibers, polybenzimidazole (PBI) fibers, polybenzoxazole (PBO) fibers, melamine fibers, carbon fibers, pre-oxidized acrylic fibers, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers, TANLONTM (available from Shanghai Tanlon Fiber Company), polyamide-imide fibers such as KERMELTM, and blends thereof.
  • para-aramid fibers examples include KEVLARTM (available from DuPont), TECHNORATM (available from Teijin Twaron BV of Arnheim, Netherlands), and TWARONTM (also available from Teijin Twaron BV).
  • meta-aramid fibers examples include NOMEXTM (available from DuPont), CONEXTM (available from Teijin), and APYEILTM (available from Unitika).
  • An example of melamine fibers is BASOFILTM (available from Basofil Fibers).
  • PAN fibers is Panox® (available from the SGL Group). As explained above, such inherently FR fibers impart the requisite thermal stability to the blend to enable fabrics made from such blends to be used in protective garments.
  • additional fibers including, but not limited to (1) anti-static fibers to dissipate or minimize static, (2) anti-microbial fibers, (3) stretch fibers (e.g., spandex), and/or (4) high tenacity fibers such as, but not limited to, nylon and/or polyester fibers (such as VECTRANTM) are added to the blends to improve the wear property of fabrics made with such blends.
  • the fiber blends disclosed herein may be used to form various types of FR fabrics.
  • the fibers may be used to form nonwoven fabrics or may first be formed into yarn that is subsequently woven or knitted into a FR fabric.
  • yarns are formed from a fiber blend having approximately 30-60% FR modacrylic fibers, approximately 20-60% synthetic cellulosic fibers, and approximately 5-30% additional inherently FR fibers.

  • the yarns comprise two yarns that are twisted together, each having a yarn count in the range of approximately 10 to 60 cc.
  • the yarns can subsequently be used to form FR fabrics in a variety of ways, all well known in the industry.
  • the yarns can be knitted or woven.
  • the FR fabric is formed as a plain weave fabric that comprises a plurality of body yarns.
  • a rip-stop or a twill weave such as a 2 ⁇ 1 right hand twill weave.

  • the FR fabric may include a fiber blend that includes anti-static, anti-microbial, stretch, and/or high tenacity fibers.
  • the FR fabric includes a blend of between approximately 40-50% FR modacrylic fibers, approximately 30-40% synthetic cellulosic fibers (preferably, but not necessarily, TENCELTM fibers and more preferably TENCEL A100TM fibers), and approximately 10-15% aramid fibers (preferably, but not necessarily, para-aramid fibers).
  • the FR fabrics formed with the blends disclosed herein preferably, but not necessarily, have a weight between approximately 3-12 ounces per square yard (“osy”) and more preferably between approximately 5-9 osy.

  • FR fabrics made from the unique fiber blends disclosed herein comply with the before-wash vertical flammability requirements set forth in ASTM F 1506 and NFPA 70E, including having acceptable arc thermal protective values (“ATPV”). Workers who may be exposed to accidental electric arc flash risk serious burn injury unless they are properly protected.
  • NFPA 70E is the standard that addresses electrical safety requirements, providing information on all aspects of electrical safety in the workplace.
  • NFPA 70E offers a method to match protective clothing to potential exposure levels incorporating Hazard Risk Categories (HRC).
  • HRC Hazard Risk Categories
  • Protective fabrics are tested to determine their ATPV or arc rating in cal/cm 2 (calories per square centimeter).
  • the ATPV is determined by ASTM test method F 1959, where sensors measure thermal energy properties of protective fabric specimens during exposure to a series of electric arcs. The measured arc rating determines the HRC for a fabric as follows:
  • Fabric Blends #2-#4 comply with the before-wash vertical flammability requirements set forth in ASTM 2112, including having acceptable char lengths (as measured with the testing method set forth in ASTM 6413).
  • Fabrics made from the fiber blends contemplated in this application also have surprisingly high resistances to abrasion.
  • TENCELTM and TENCEL A100TM fibers are very durable fibers. It is not surprising, therefore, that Taber abrasion test results of fabrics made from fiber blends having such fibers indicate substantially high resistance to abrasion—indeed almost as high as fabrics made from 100% inherently FR fibers and higher than fabrics made with other fiber blends that comply with the ASTM F 1506, NFPA 2112, and NFPA 70E standards.
  • the inclusion of modacrylic and cellulosic fibers in the blends contemplated herein render the resulting fabric soft and thus more comfortable to the wearer.

  • Vat dyeing techniques such as, but not limited to, those disclosed in Textile Dyeing and Coloration by J. R. Aspland (Chapters 4: Vat Dyes: General and 5: Vat Dyes and their Application), are well known in the art and thus not discussed in detail herein.
  • the fabrics disclosed herein may also be printed with dyes or pigments. For example, such fabrics may be printed in compliance with the military's infrared reflective requirements with vat dyes using printing techniques well known in the art.
  • the fabric After all dyeing has been completed, the fabric then can be finished in conventional manner.
  • This finishing process can include the application of FR treatments, anti-microbial agents, insect repellent agents, pesticides, soil release agents, wicking agents, water repellents (e.g., perfluorohydrocarbon), stiffening agents, softeners, and the like.
  • Fabrics having the fiber blends disclosed herein can be used to construct the entirety of, or various portions of, a variety of protective garments for protecting the wearer against electrical arc flash and flames, including, but not limited to, coveralls, jumpsuits, shirts, jackets, vests, and trousers.
  • Retroreflective elements such as strips of retroreflective tape, may be provided on portions of the exterior of the garments to enhance the visibility of the garment wearer.
  • a fabric having blends of fibers disclosed herein is used to form at least a portion of an advanced combat shirt.
  • Advance combat shirts are worn under bullet proof vests.
  • the shoulders and sleeves of the shirt typically remain exposed but the body portion of the shirt is substantially covered by the vest.
  • the shoulders and sleeves of the shirt have traditionally been made from woven or heavy weight knit FR fabrics (such as those disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 6,867,154, the entirety of which is herein incorporated by reference) that protect the wearer against flame and radiant energy and are typically printed (such as with a camouflage pattern) to ensure the wearer does not stand out in his or her surrounding environment.
  • the body portion of the shirt is concealed by the bullet proof vest which protects the wearer's torso, it need not be made from the same materials or afford the same level of FR protection to the wearer.
  • the inventors have discovered that forming the body portion of the shirt from an FR fabric having a blend that includes FR modacrylic and synthetic cellulosic fibers results in a shirt with better wear properties that is more comfortable to the wearer.
  • the body portion of the shirt is formed of a 50/50 blend of FR modacrylic fibers and synthetic cellulosic fibers (suitable examples of each of which are identified in the discussion above).
  • the blend need not only include FR modacrylic and synthetic cellulosic fibers, however. Rather, other fibers may be added to the blend, including, but not limited to, additional inherently FR fibers (suitable examples of which are identified in the discussion above), polyester fibers, nylon fibers, or fibers that impart stretchability to the resulting fabric (e.g., spandex).
  • the fiber blend includes between approximately 30-60% FR modacrylic fibers, approximately 20-60% synthetic cellulosic fibers, approximately 5-30% additional inherently FR fibers, and between 5-25% nylon fibers.
  • the fiber blend includes approximately 50% modacrylic fibers (and preferably, but not necessarily, PROTEX WTM fibers), 30% lyocell fibers (and preferably, but not necessarily, TENCEL A100TM fibers), 10% para-aramid fibers (and preferably, but not necessarily, TWARONTM fibers), and 10% nylon fibers.
  • the fiber blend is formed into yarns that is then used to form the fabric for use in the body portion of the shirt. While any type of yarn may be formed, spun yarns are particularly suitable in this application given their high absorptive properties. It has been found that a fabric provided with apertures (i.e., a mesh fabric) is particularly well-suited in this application because the resulting mesh fabric is breathable and allows air to circulate under the vest and thus keeps the wearer cool.
  • the mesh fabric may be formed in a variety of ways, with knitting, and particularly circular knitting, being particularly suitable.
  • any portion of the shirt may be formed from the mesh material.
  • stretchable panels of FR fabric into the shirt (such as in side panels of the shirt) for ease of donning and removing the garment by the wearer.
  • the stretchable panels may be formed of any FR fabric, including, but not limited to, the fabrics contemplated herein.
