Definitions

  • This present invention concerns the area of protection from fire. More particularly, it concerns a protective fabric that is intended to form the outer layer of a garment for protection from fire such as the clothing of a firefighter for example.
  • thermostable or thermoreactive fibres the textiles manufactured from the said fibres, and the clothing created from these textiles.
  • aramides either para-aramides or meta-aramides, such as Kermel fibre for example, which belongs to the chemical family of the polyamides-imides, like Nomex® type fibre for example, which is a polymetaphenilenelsophtalamide.
  • Kevlar® Twaron®
  • Technora® One is also familiar with the fibres that are marketed under the trade names of Kevlar®, Twaron® and Technora®.
  • a garment for a firefighter in addition to its fire properties, must satisfy the same aesthetic requirements as any other garment, and in particular must have an external visual appearance that is acceptable or at least that can be reproduced from one garment the next.
  • this arrangement has the major drawback that it is necessary to increase the weight/area ratio of the fabric if one chooses a relatively high proportion of threads of the para-aramide type, such as fabrics with a weigh/area ratio of 300 g/m2 for example if one chooses to have 50% of para-aramide type thread.
  • a more conventional weight/area ratio such as 220 g/m2 for example, then the proportion of para-aramide type threads must be reduced significantly, to 100% of para-aramide thread for example.
  • the objective of this present invention is to propose a protective fabric which is designed to form the outer layer of a garment for protection from fire, and that overcomes the aforementioned drawbacks.
  • This last fabric includes 15 to 50% of threads of the second type, and if necessary of the third type, and its weave is determined so that, on the outer face of the fabric, the warp threads of the second type, and if necessary of the third type, are almost totally masked.
  • the contrast of colours concerns only the width of the fabric, generally between 1.50 m and 1.60 m since it is the same weft thread that crosses the warp threads over the full width. If necessary, it also possible, using a weft mixer, to use several spools alternately to make up the picks and thus to reduce the effect of colour variations in the weft threads by statistical mixing.
  • the threads of the second type, and if necessary of the third type represent from 30 to 50% of the warp threads and the threads of the second type represent 30 to 50% of the weft threads.
  • the threads of the first and second type make up in the order of 12 to 16 tex ⁇ 2.
  • the fabric in question has a basic weave that has the following warp arrangement, namely one thread of the first type, one thread of the second type and two threads of the first type, and the weft has alternating threads of the first and second type.
  • this method of implementation it has been possible to create a protective fabric with a weight/area ratio of the order of 220 gr/m2 and with a final proportion of 66.3% of meta-aramide fibres, 33% of para-aramide fibres of high modulus with colour variation over its length and with 0.7% of anti-static fibres.
  • the meta-aramide fibres are generally mixed with a small percentage of anti-static fibres, in particular fibres of the Belitron® or other fibre type, which are conducting or which dissipate charges.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 representing two basic weaves of the said fabric of the warp double-sided weave type.
  • the threads of the first type are threads of the meta-aramide type with a tex number of 14.3 tex ⁇ 2 (more currently and commonly written as Nm 70/2) composed of 99% meta-aramide fibres known by the trade name Kermel® and with 1% of anti-static fibres.
  • the threads of the second type are para-aramide type threads with tex number 14.3 tex ⁇ 2, high modulus, displaying colour variations over their length.
  • This can be threads known by the trade name Rusar® for example. It can also be threads that are known by the trade names Armos®, SVM® or AuTx-HT®. These are continuous-filament threads.
  • the pattern of the warping process is 3 threads of the meta-aramide type (K for KERMEL® for a thread of the para-aramide type (P for para-aramide).
  • the weave density of the fabric is 52 ⁇ 22 threads/cm.
  • Its weight/area ratio is of the order of 220 gr/m2, with a final proportion of 66.3% of meta-aramide fibres, 33% of para-aramides fibres and 0.7% of anti-static fibres.
  • the warp threads of the high modulus para-aramide type are located to be visible alternately on the fabric side and on the reverse side with a ratio of 1 in 3.
  • this type of weave it turns out that the meta-aramide (K) warp thread that is located furthest to the left of the weave pattern will tend to pass over the warp thread in para-aramide (P), which means that in practice the said warp thread is virtually totally masked on the fabric side of the cloth.
  • the second example differs from the first in the basic weave, is of the warp double-sided weave type, illustrated in FIG. 2 , in which the warping pattern is also three threads of the meta-aramide type for every one thread of the para-aramide type, and the weft pattern is also one thread of the meta-aramide type for one thread of the para-aramide type.
  • the warp threads of the para-aramide type are located alternately and visible on the fabric side and on the reverse side in a ratio of 1 for 2, but as in the first example, the warp thread in meta-aramide (K) that is located furthest to the left of the weave pattern tends to pass over the warp thread in para-aramide (P) that is immediately adjacent to it, which means that, on the fabric side of the cloth, the warp thread in para-aramide is almost totally masked.
  • all the warp and weft threads in para-aramide can be of the second type, but one can also have all the warp threads in para-aramide of the third type.
  • This present invention is not limited to the methods of implementation described and illustrated by way of non-exhaustive examples.
  • other weaves such a weave in which the warp pattern is four threads of the first type for every one thread of the second type and the weft pattern is one thread of the first type for every one thread of the second type, to give a better density and a better masking of the threads of the second type in the warp, while still remaining within the desired weight/area ratios and with a proportion of the order of 30% of the threads of the second type.
