A silk blend ballistic fabric for creating comfortable and flexible bulletproof apparel includes a plurality of silk threads and a plurality of para-aramid fiber threads interwoven with the plurality of silk threads to create a fabric. An alternative embodiment of the disclosure generally comprises a hybrid thread comprising a silk thread and a para-aramid fiber thread twisted with the silk thread. The resulting hybrid thread can be woven to create the fabric. The resulting fabric is bulletproof and substantially flexible to create articles of clothing such as, but not limited to, trousers, shirts, and the like.

A method and system for forming fire and abrasion resistant yarns is disclosed. The fire and abrasion resistant yarn includes a fibrous bundle spun from a blend of fire retardant fibers and non-fire retardant fibers. The fibrous bundle is wrapped and integrated with a filament comprising a fire retardant (FR) material, and which is introduced during spinning of the fibers of the fibrous bundle so as to be wrapped about and help bind the fibrous bundle. The FR filament will be selected from fire/heat resistant and abrasion resistant materials, while the fibers of the fibrous bundle can be selected from natural or synthetic fibers or filaments having additional desired properties.

Processes for forming 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; the regions being distinct and present in the bicomponent filaments in a sheath-core structure or a side-by-side structure; wherein the first polymer composition comprises aramid polymer comprising 5 to 10 weight percent homogeneously dispersed discrete carbon particles and the second polymer composition comprises aramid polymer being free of discrete carbon particles and having at least one homogeneously dispersed masking pigment, the yarn having a total content of 0.5 to 5 weight percent discrete carbon particles.

An elastic flame-resistant yarn containing an intimate fiber blend of staple fibers wrapped around a plurality of elastic continuous fibers. The intimate fiber blend of staple fibers contains non-flame-resistant (FR) cellulosic fibers, modacrylic fibers, and aramid fibers. The non-FR cellulosic fibers constitute at least about 31% by weight to at most about 54% by weight of the intimate fiber blend of staple fibers, the modacrylic fibers constitute at least about 30% by weight to at most about 49% by weight of the intimate fiber blend of staple fibers, and the aramid fibers make up at least about 3% by weight to at most about 20% by weight of the intimate fiber blend of staple fibers. The elastic continuous fibers make up at least about 0.01% by weight to at most about 5% by weight of the elastic flame-resistant yarn.

A yarn is disclosed, which includes a blend of: 33-75 wt. % of a flame resistant fiber having a limit of oxygen index of 43%, a thermal conductivity of 0.0063 watt/meter/K and a moisture regain of 12%; 10-40 wt. % of an aramid fiber; and up to 36% of a wearability enhancing fiber selected from the group consisting of wool, flame resistant rayon and lyocell, wherein the yarn is free of thermoplastics and is sufficiently flame resistant such that a fabric consisting of the yarn is effective to limit a body burn percentage resulting from 4 seconds of flame exposure to less than 35% as measured by ASTM F1930. Fabrics and garments including the inventive yarn are also disclosed.

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.

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.

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.

The heat resistant separation fabric for use as tool cover in glass processing comprises heat resistant yarns (100). The heat resistant yarns comprise a core (110) and at least one wrap yarn (123, 125). The core is a core yarn. The core yarn is a multifilament glass yarn. The at least one wrap yarns (123, 125) comprises stainless steel fibers. The core yarn is present in the heat resistant yarn without crimp. The at least one wrap yarn is wrapped around the core yarn.
