Definitions
- This invention relates to a blended yarn useful for the production of fabrics which possess arc and flame protective properties. This invention also relates to garments produced with such fabrics.
- This invention relates to yarn for use in arc and flame protection fabrics and garments comprising: (a) 40 to 70 weight percent modacrylic fiber, (b) 5 to 20 weight percent p-aramid fiber and ⁇ u to 4u weignt percent m-aramid fiber, said percentages on the basis of components (a) (b) and (c). Furthermore the fabric and garment can provide resistance to break open and abrasion.
- This invention relates to providing a yarn from with fabrics and garment may be produced that provide both arc protection and flame resistance.
- Fabrics and garments comprising flame resistant fibers of low tensile strength when exposed to the intense thermal stress of an electrical arc can break open exposing the wearer to additional injury as a result of the incident energy.
- Electrical arcs typically involve thousands of volts and thousands of amperes of electrical current. The electrical arc is much more intense than incident energy such as from flash fire.
- To offer protection to a wearer a garment or fabric must resist the transfer to energy through to the wearer. It is believed that this occurs both by the fabric absorbing a portion of the incident energy and by the fabric resisting breakopen.
- Yarns, fabrics and garments of this invention when exposed to the intense thermal stress of an electrical arc resist the transfer of energy. It is believed that this invention reduces energy transfer by absorbing a portion of the incident energy and through charring allows a reduction in transmitted energy.
- Yarns of this invention comprise a blend of modacrylic fiber, meta- aramid fiber, and para-aramid fiber. Typically, yarns of this invention comprise 40 to 70 weight percent modacrylic fiber, 5 to 20 weight percent para-aramid fiber, and 10 to 40 percent meta-aramid fiber.
- yarns of this invention comprise 55 to 65 weight percent modacrylic fiber, 5 to 15 weight percent para-aramid fiber, and 20 to 30 percent meta- aramid fiber.
- the above percentages are on a basis of the three named components.
- an additional abrasion resistant fiber may be added to the yarn to improve durability via improved abrasion resistance.
- yarn is meant an assemblage of fibers spun or twisted together to form a continuous strand, which can be used in weaving, knitting, braiding, or plaiting, or otherwise made into a textile material or fabric.
- modacrylic fiber it is meant acrylic synthetic fiber made from a polymer comprising primarily acrylonitrile.
- the polymer is a copolymer comprising 30 to 70 weight percent of a acrylonitrile and 70 to 30 weight percent of a halogen-containing vinyl monomer.
- the halogen- containing vinyl monomer is at least one monomer selected, for example, from vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride, vinyl bromide, vinylidene bromide, etc.
- Examples of copolymerizable vinyl monomers are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid, salts or esters of such acids, acrylamide, methylacrylamide, vinyl acetate, etc.
- the preferred modacrylic fibers of this invention are copolymers of acrylonitrile combined with vinylidene chloride, the copolymer having in addition an antimony oxide or antimony oxides for improved fire retardancy.
- Such useful modacrylic fibers include, but are not limited to, fibers disclosed in United States Patent No. 3,193,602 having 2 weight percent antimony trioxide, fibers disclosed in United States Patent No. 3, 748,302 made with various antimony oxides that are present in an amount of at least 2 weight percent and preferably not greater than 8 weight percent, and fibers disclosed in United States Patent Nos. 5,208,105 & 5,506,042 having 8 to 40 weight percent of an antimony compound.
- modacrylic fiber provides a flame resistant char forming fiber with an LOI typically at least 28 depending on the level of doping with antimony derivatives. Modacrylic fiber is also resistant to the spread of damage to the fiber due to exposure to flame. Modacrylic fiber while highly flame resistant does not by itself provide adequate tensile strength to a yarn or fabric made from the yarn to offer the desired level of breakopen resistance when exposed to an electrical arc.
- aramid is meant a polyamide wherein at least 85% of the amide (-CONH-) linkages are attached directly to two aromatic rings.
- Additives can be used with the aramid and, in fact, it has been found that up to as much as 10 percent, by weight, of other polymeric material can be blended with the aramid or that copolymers can be used having as much as 10 percent of other diamine substituted for the diamine of the aramid or as much as 10 percent of other diacid chloride substituted for the diacid chloride of the aramid.
- Suitable aramid fibers are described in Man-Made Fibers-Science and Technology, Volume 2, Section titled Fiber-Forming Aromatic Polyamides, page 297, W. Black et al., Interscience Publishers, 1968.
- Aramid fibers are, also, disclosed in U.S. Pat. Nos.
- M-aramid are those aramids where the amide linkages are in the meta-position relative to each other, and p-aramids are those aramids where the amide linkages are in the para-position relative to each other.
- the aramids most often used are poly araphenylene terephthalamide) and poly(metaphenylene isophthalamide).
- m-aramid fiber may provide a flame resistant char forming fiber with an LOI of about 26.
- M-aramid fiber is also resistant to the spread of damage to the fiber due to exposure to flame.
- M-aramid fiber also adds comfort to fabrics formed of fibers comprising yarn of this invention.
- M-aramid fiber provides additional tensile strength to the yarn and fabrics formed from the yarn.
- Modacrylic and m-aramid fiber combinations are highly flame resistant but do not provide adequate tensile strength to a yarn or fabric made from the yarn to offer the desired level of breakopen resistance when exposed to an electrical arc.
- p-aramid fibers provide a high tensile strength fiber which when added in adequate amounts improves the breakopen resistance of fabrics formed from the yarn. Large amounts of p-aramid fibers in the yarns make garments comprising the yarns uncomfortable to the wearer.
- the term tensile strength refers to the maximum amount of stress that can be applied to a material before rupture or failure.
- the tear strength is the amount of force required to tear a fabric.
- the tensile strength of a fabric relates to how easily the fabric will tear or rip.
- the tensile strength may also relate to the ability of the fabric to avoid Decoming permanently stretched or deformed.
- the tensile and tear strengths of a fabric should be high enough so as to prevent ripping, tearing, or permanent deformation of the garment in a manner that would significantly compromise the intended level of protection of the garment.
- an abrasion resistant fiber may be added to the yarn to improve durability via improved abrasion resistance.
- abrasion resistant fiber it is meant the ability of a fiber or fabric to withstand surface wear and rubbing.
- the abrasion resistant fiber is a nylon.
- nylon it is meant fibers made from aliphatic polyamide polymers; and polyhexamethyiene adipamide (nylon 66) is the preferred nylon polymer.
- Other nylons such as polycaprolactam (nylon 6), polybutyrolactam (nylon 4), poly(9-aminononanoic acid) (nylon 9), polyenantholactam (nylon 7), polycapryllactam (nylon 8), polyhexamethyiene sebacamide (nylon 6, 10), and the like are suitable.
- the abrasion resistant fiber typically comprises 2 to 15 weight percent of the yarn.
- Yarns containing less than 2 weight percent of abrasion resistant fiber do not show a marked improvement in abrasion resistance.
- Yarns containing abrasion resistant fibers in excess of 15 weight percent may experience a reduction in the flame resistance and arc protective properties of the yarn and fabrics formed from the yarn.
- an antistatic component is steel fiber, carbon fiber, or a carbon coating to an existing fiber.
- the conductivity of carbon or a metal such as steel when incorporated in a yarn, fabric, or garment of this invention provides an electrical conduit to assist in dissipating the buildup of static electricity. Static electrical discharges can be hazardous for workers working with sensitive electrical equipment or near flammable vapors.
- the antistatic component may be present in an amount of 1 to 5 weight percent of the total yarn.
- Yarns of this invention may be produced by any of the yarn spinning techniques commonly known in the art such as but not limited to ring spinning, core spinning, and air jet spinning or higher air spinning techniques such as Murata air jet spinning where air is used to twist staple fibers into a yarn.
- the single yarns produced by any of the common techniques are then plied together to form a ply-twisted yarn comprising at least two single yarns prior to being converted into a fabric.
- an arc protective fabric and garments formed from that fabric possess features such as an LOI above the concentration of oxygen in air for flame resistance, a short char length indicative of slow propagation of damage to the fabric, and good breakopen resistance to prevent incident energy from directly impinging on the surfaces below the protective layer.
- Thermally protective garments such as firefighter turnout gear typically provide protection against the convective heat generated by an open flame.
- Such protective garments when exposed to the intense energy generated by an electrical arc can breakopen (i.e. an opening form in the fabric) resulting in the energy penetrating the garment and causing severe injury to the wearer.
- Fabrics of this invention preferably provide both protection against the convective heat of an open flame and offer increased resistance to breakopen and energy transfer when exposed to an electrical arc.
- the term fabric refers to a desired protective layer that has been woven, knitted, or otherwise assembled using one or more different types of the yarn of this invention.
- fabrics of this invention are woven fabrics.
- Most preferably the fabrics of this invention are a twill weave.
- Basis weight is a measure of the weight of a fabric per unit area. Typical units include ounces per square yard and grams per square centimeter. The basis weights reported in this specification are reported in ounces per square yard (OPSY).
- Basis weights of fabrics of this invention are typically greater than about 8.0 opsy, preferably greater than about 8.7 opsy, ana most preferably greater than about 9.5 opsy. It is believed fabrics of this invention with basis weights greater than about 12 opsy would show increased stiffness and would thereby reduce the comfort of a garment produced from such fabric. Char length is a measure of the flame resistance of a textile.
- a char is defined as a carbonaceous residue formed as the result of pyrolysis or incomplete combustion.
- the char length of a fabric under the conditions of test of ASTM 6413-99 as reported in this specification is defined as the distance from the fabric edge, which is directly exposed to the flame to the furthest point of visible fabric damage after a specified tearing force has been applied.
