Embodiments of the invention relate to flame resistant fabrics containing fibers having at least one energy absorbing and/or reflecting additive incorporated into the fibers. Inclusion of such fibers into the fabric increases the arc rating/fabric weight ratio of the fabric while still complying with all requisite thermal protective requirements.

An airbag fabric made of polyamide filaments, wherein the polyamide filaments are made of at least 60% by weight of a bio-based monomer.

The present invention relates to the technical field of polyamide materials, and provides a polyamide 56 pre-oriented yarn and a polyamide 56 draw textured yarn with a low shrinkage in boiling water, a process for producing the same and a use thereof. The raw materials for producing the polyamide 56 fiber comprise 1,5-pentane diamine and adipic acid, or a polyamide 56 resin obtained by polymerizing 1,5-pentane diamine monomer and adipic acid monomer; wherein the polyamide 56 fiber has a shrinkage in boiling water of 9% or less, wherein the polyamide 56 fiber comprises a polyamide 56 pre-oriented yarn with a low shrinkage in boiling water and a polyamide 56 draw textured yarn with a low shrinkage in boiling water. The polyamide 56 fiber has good mechanical properties, dyeing uniformity and dimensional stability. The process for producing the polyamide 56 fiber does not require modification to existing equipments for texturing polyamide fibers and thus reduces production costs.

A cooling garment, and a method of construction thereof, includes: a first layer configured to be adjacent to a wearer's skin and comprising exemplary cooling fabrics capable of providing a conductive cooling effect when preferably when wet-activated; a second layer adjacent to the first layer and comprising a spacer material that allows for convective air flow; and a third layer adjacent to the second layer and comprising perforated holes in order to enhance the airflow to the first and second layers.

A process for production of a low-shrinkage aliphatic polyamide fibre, in which polyamide is extruded through a spinneret to form filaments, then cooled and combined to form at least one yarn. The at least one yarn is subjected to drawing between the spinneret and a pair of inlet rolls, then in a further multi-stage drawing step is subjected to 4-fold to 6-fold drawing by pairs of draw rolls. The pairs of draw rolls successively heat the yarn and at least the last pair of draw rolls has a temperature of 5° C. to 20° C. below the melting point of the yarn. The yarn is relaxed by from 6% to 10% in a subsequent at least three-stage relaxation zone and is kept in a temperature range of 5° C. to 15° C. below the melting point of the yarn, and is subsequently wound up on a reel device.

A method of manufacturing a high-strength synthetic fiber utilizing high-temperature multi-sectional drawing, two-stage high-temperature multi-sectional drawing, or multi-stage high-temperature multi-sectional drawing. The method comprises the following steps: performing, on a synthetic resin, melt spinning or melt extrusion, cooling, multi-sectional high-temperature drawing, heat setting and a fiber surface treatment, wherein the multi-sectional high-temperature drawing comprises independently adjusting temperatures at a front section and a rear section of an furnace, and the temperature at the rear section is higher than that at the front section. The temperature adjustment is performed on different locations in the furnace and according to a crystallization orientation of a fiber molecular chain, significantly increasing fiber strength. The method is widely applicable to manufacturing of various types of fibers, enhancing application performance of the fibers.
