Method for making a cellulose-comprising, flame-resistant, textile article comprising multiple flame-retardant treatments. The method comprises: a. providing at least part of the textile article with a non-cellulose-reactive, phosphorous-containing, flame-retardant compound, and b. providing at least part of the textile article with a cellulose-reactive, phosphorous-containing, flame-retardant compound. The method is suitable for producing flame-resistant, textile articles such as flame-resistant garments. Said garments can be used to protect individuals from flames and/or heat.

There is provided a system of an insulated conductor integrated into a base fabric layer for a garment. The system includes a set of wall fibres interlaced with one another to form a wall structure defining a cavity along a length, the set of wall fibres including nonconductive material; at least one conductive fibre running along the length within the cavity, such that the set of wall fibres of the wall structure encloses the at least one conductive fibre in order to electrically insulate the at least one conductive fibre from an environment along the length external to the cavity; and a set of base fibres interlaced with one another to form the base fabric layer, the base fabric layer having a first side adjacent with a first fibred interconnection to the wall structure and a second side adjacent with a second fibered interconnection to the wall structure.

The invention relates to a fabric. The fabric (10) comprises, in the fabric material, threads (11a1, 12a1; 13a1, 14a1) of a material conducting electricity well, by means of which electro-magnetic radiation and magnetic fields are filtered. The threads (11a1, 12a1; 13a1, 14a1) are placed next to each other. Furthermore, the threads are wound around their winding axes (X1, X2; Y1, Y2) so that the first thread (11a1, 13a1) in the fabric is wound clockwise, and the second thread (12a1, 14a1) next to it is wound counterclockwise.

The present invention provides interlocked thread electrode leads, methods of fabrication thereof, and thread interlocking machines.
