Flame resistant fabrics comprising a blend of modacrylic, aliphatic polyamide, and cellulosic fibers. Some embodiments are printed and/or dyed with vat dyes so as to comply with the color requirements (including the color, colorfastness, and IR requirements) set forth in the relevant sections of GL-PD-07-12 and/or MIL-PRF-EFRCE. Some embodiments further include reinforcing yarns that improve the strength of the fabrics. Still other embodiments are flame resistant fabrics for use in electrical applications that comply with some or all of the requirements of ASTM F 1506.

The present disclosure relates to a flame-retardant fabric that includes a modacrylic fiber and a cellulose fiber. The cellulose fiber is one or more selected from a regenerated cellulose fiber and a natural cellulose fiber. The flame-retardant fabric contains the modacrylic fiber in an amount of 65 to 90 wt % and the cellulose fiber in an amount of 10 to 35 wt % with respect to the overall weight of the fabric. The modacrylic fiber contains a magnesium compound inside the fiber. The flame-retardant fabric contains the magnesium compound in an amount of 2.5 to 4.5 wt %. Afterflame time and afterglow time of the flame-retardant fabric measured using a flammability test based on ISO 15025: 2000 are 2 seconds or less and 2 seconds or less, respectively.

The invention relates to a thin film evaporator (D) for producing a transfer mixture according to the direct dissolution method, having a feed (1), a housing (4) and an outlet (2), wherein the feed (1) introduces a starting material, made of cellulose, water and a functional fluid, into the housing (4), wherein an evaporator shaft (5) situated in the housing (4) rotatingly sweeps the starting material over the heated interior of the housing (4), wherein the product is heated and some of the water evaporates so as to result in the transfer mixture, which flows to the outlet (2) together with a supply stream, wherein the through-flow capacity of the outlet (2) is greater than the supply stream.

The invention relates to a method for preparing an anti-counterfeiting modal fiber, including: mixing a pulp stock solution with a cellulose catalyst, alkalizing, aging, sulfonating, and then dissolving the pulp stock solution in an alkaline solution to obtain a treatment solution; mixing the treatment solution with multiple amino acid-metal chelates, filtering, defoaming and ripening to obtain a spinning stock solution; and mixing the spinning stock solution with a spinning bath additive, and wet spinning, followed by drafting, defoaming, desulfurizing, water washing, and other post-treatments, to obtain an anti-counterfeiting modal fiber, wherein the amino acid metal-chelates account for 0.5%-1.5% by weight of the spinning stock solution. Amino acid-metal chelates are used to anti-counterfeit and encrypt the modal fibers, and the anti-counterfeiting and encrypting is involved in the spinning stock solution of modal fibers. The fiber source can be tracked and identified by detecting the species of metal elements and amino acids.

The present disclosure relates to a woven textile fabric, the fabric including: a warp yarn with a yarn count of 10 s to 100 s comprising a blend of Lyocell fiber spun yarn and recycled polyester spun yarn; and a weft yarn with a yarn count of 10 s to 100 s comprising a blend of Lyocell fiber spun yarn and recycled polyester spun yarn, wherein the total content of the recycled polyester in the fabric is at least about 35%, further wherein said fabric exhibits rating of 3 or above when the fabric is tested for pilling after 1000 rubs. The advantageous fabric realized in accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure has excellent wrinkle resistance, high tensile strength, and low pilling.

A fabric comprises a plurality of yarns, at least a portion of which comprise polyphenylene sulfide fibers and regenerated cellulose fibers. The fabric comprises 35 wt. % or more polyphenylene sulfide fibers. A fabric comprises a plurality of yarns, each yarn comprising a plurality of polyphenylene sulfide staple fibers and a plurality of regenerated cellulose staple fibers. A method of protecting an individual from injury caused by molten metal splashes comprises the steps of providing a fabric, providing a source of molten metal, disposing the fabric between the source of molten metal and an individual, whereby the fabric serves as a barrier to protect the individual from molten metal splashes.

A fabric made by the method of providing a non-woven batt having flame retardant fibers, stitch bonding the non-woven batt with an elastic yarn, and heat setting the stitch bonded, non-woven batt. The stich bonded non-woven batt is exposed to a temperature in a range of 65 C. to 200 C. for a period in a range of 30 seconds to 120 seconds. In an embodiment, the fabric is adapted for use as a mattress core cover

This invention relates to a process and a device for manufacturing cellulose-based webs which are directly formed from lyocell spinning solution and in particular for the washing of directly formed cellulose webs.

The present invention provides a fabric comprising or consisting of: a first yarn comprising a fiber blend of modal and polyester; a second yarn comprising spandex; and a third yarn comprising polyester. The polyester in the fiber blend may have a cross-section such as X-shape, M-shape, I-shape, honeycomb-shape, Y-shape, U-shape or O-shape that creates a plurality of spaces along the length of the first yarn that facilitate a capillary action. The modal in the fiber blend may have a cross-section that is substantially rectangular.

A charcoal-infused towel product is woven from a combination of charcoal-infused yarn fibers and cotton yarn fibers. The charcoal-infused yarn fibers are made by combining a liquefied activated charcoal paste with a liquefied cellulose paste to produce filaments of textile fiber embedded with activated charcoal.
