The present invention relates to flame retardant fabrics and safety apparel, especially yarn used for high flame resistant safety apparel fabric wherein the yarn uses a cheese method and the yarn is used to weave fabric. The fabric as described contains at least 60% high flame resistant modacrylic fiber which after cheese dyeing is woven into fabric. The safety apparel that use this fabric will not continue to burn after leaving a fire, will not melt or cause the wearer secondary injury and complies with the relevant standards of the European Union, the United States and China.

A flame retardant fabric is directly woven from flame retardant viscose fiber added with inorganic silicon for covering the outside of flammable articles, wherein the flame retardant viscose fiber having denier, strength and flame retardant effect which use silicic acid as the flame retardant, and coating a layer of organic material, melamine flame retardant resin on the surface of silicic acid, and then preparing the flame retardant viscose fiber into an nano-sized particles. The flame retardant fabric has a fineness of 1.11 to 2.78 dtex, and a strength of ≥2.0 cN/dtex, which meets the production requirements of spinning, and does not need to be blended with other high-strength fibers when spinning, and the woven fabric from the flame retardant viscose fiber does not need to be flame retardant, so that the flame retardant fabric has a good flame retardant effect and saves costs through simply the production process.

A fabric for arc-protective garments includes first yarns and second yarns different from the first yarns. The first yarns include first modacrylic fibers, and the first modacrylic fibers contain an infrared absorber in an amount of 2.5 wt % or more with respect to a total weight of the first modacrylic fibers. The weight of the infrared absorber per unit area in the fabric for arc-protective garments is 0.05 oz/yd.sup.2 or more. An arc-protective garment includes the fabric for arc-protective garments.

A method for manufacturing a flame-retardant bulky fiber without a flame retardant on a fully-drawn yarn (FDY) machine is provided. The flame-retardant bulky fiber is formed by winding a plurality of spiral yarns arranged in the same direction; and the yarns are polyester yarns with a fineness of 0.52 DPF to 80 DPF. The method includes the following steps: slicing and drying a polyester masterbatch; spinning through a spinning die, and cooling by side blowing; cooling and oiling; drawing by a first hot roller; drawing and shaping by a second hot roller; and winding. The present disclosure can manufacture a flame-retardant bulky fiber on an FDY machine, which has the same effect as drawn textured yarn (DTY) manufactured by a texturing machine. Moreover, without being added with any chemical flame retardant, the flame-retardant bulky fiber of the present disclosure can reach the flame-retardant standard of home textiles.

A flame-retardant fiber composite includes an acrylic fiber A containing an acrylic copolymer and an aramid fiber. The acrylic fiber A is substantially free of an antimony compound, and the flame-retardant fiber composite forms a surface-foamed char layer when burned. A flame-retardant work clothing includes the flame-retardant acrylic fiber. A highly flame-retardant fiber composite and highly flame-retardant work clothing include an acrylic fiber, and are capable of exhibiting high flame retardancy while suppressing environmental impacts caused by a flame retardant.

Knit fabrics having ceramic strands, thermal protective members formed therefrom and to their methods of construction are disclosed. Methods for fabricating thermal protection using multiple materials which may be concurrently knit are also disclosed. This unique capability to knit high temperature ceramic fibers concurrently with a load-relieving process aid, such as an inorganic or organic material (e.g., metal alloy or polymer), both small diameter wires within the knit as well as large diameter wires which provide structural support and allow for the creation of near net-shape performs at production level speed. Additionally, ceramic insulation can also be integrated concurrently to provide increased thermal protection.

A yarn comprising a plurality of bicomponent filaments having a first region comprising a first polymer composition and a second region comprising a second polymer composition, each of the first and second regions being distinct in the bicomponent filaments; each bicomponent filament comprising 5 to 60 weight percent of the first polymer composition and 95 to 40 weight percent of the second polymer composition; wherein the first polymer composition comprises aramid polymer containing 0.5 to 20 weight percent discrete homogeneously dispersed carbon particles and the second polymer composition comprises modacrylic polymer being free of discrete carbon particles; the yarn having a total content of 0.1 to 5 weight percent discrete carbon particles.

The present invention discloses a highly effective flame-retardant lightweight and soft multi-fiber blended fabric and a preparation method thereof. The fabric comprises 82 to 87 wt % of base fabric, 5 to 8 wt % of flame retardant and 8 to 10 wt % of antistatic agent. The base fabric comprises 45 to 48 wt % of polyacrylonitrile fibers, 40 to 42 wt % of cellulose fibers, 6 to 9 wt % of polyacrylate fibers and 6 to 8 wt % of polyamide fibers in parts by mass. The material has the characteristics of highly effective flame retardance, lightweightness and softness, with the gram weight being 215 g/m. A test shows that the material can come up to the NFPA2112 standard, and the arc-proof ATPV is greater than 8 cal/cm.sup.2.

Proposed is a method of manufacturing a fabric wallpaper, while a bonding force of an adhesive agent attached to one side of fabric wallpaper is enhanced, and flame retarding is given to a wrap and a weft for weaving fabric at the same time. Accordingly, safety is guaranteed against the fire without additional anti-flaming treatment. Also when constructing the fabric wallpaper, general unskilled consumers may easily and conveniently perform construction. Fabric is woven by a warp and a weft of synthetic fibrous yarn in which a flame retardant resin layer is formed on the outer surface of the core. One side of the fabric is heated and pressed to form a smooth surface in which part of the resin layer is melted and extended. An adhesive agent is attached to the smooth surface, and release paper is attached to the outer surface of the adhesive agent.

A task is to provide a cloth which is advantageous in that the cloth has extremely excellent flame retardancy, and further has excellent washing shrinkage resistance and excellent hand as well as excellent antistatic properties, preferably in that the whole of the cloth can be uniformly dyed, and a fiber product, and the task is achieved by obtaining a cloth using a spun yarn which comprises a meta-type wholly aromatic polyamide fiber, a modacrylic fiber, and a conductive fiber.
