Disclosed herein, inter alia, is a flooring woven fabric. The flooring woven fabric includes a fabric layer including bulked continuous filaments (BCFs) having crimp and a polymer resin composition. The fabric layer includes a woven yarn of BCFs and the polymer resin composition is applied on the top portion of the fabric layer such that the polymer resin to form a coating layer. The polymer resin composition of the coating layer may penetrate between the BCFs and yarns made of BCFs. As such, the flooring woven fabric may have improved the wear resistance to strengthen the surface properties and positioning the coating layer to block the penetration of liquid contaminants at the same time, thereby improving the decontamination performance.

The present invention is directed to a three-dimensional composite fabric including a three-dimensional woven fabric, and a nonwoven fabric arranged on a first, on a second side, or on both sides of the three-dimensional woven fabric, wherein the composite fabric retains at least 15% thickness at a compression of about 200 pounds per square foot (psf) to about 1000 pounds per square foot. Further, the present invention is directed to a method of making a three-dimensional composite fabric and a method of installing the three-dimensional composite fabric in a landfill.

A fiber-reinforced composite material and a method of manufacturing the fiber-reinforced composite material are disclosed. The fiber-reinforced composite material includes a fabric manufactured by weaving a weft including a synthetic fiber and a warp including a synthetic fiber, a carbon fiber, or a combination thereof, and a resin with which the fabric is impregnated and/or coated, wherein the resin includes urethane, urethane acrylate, urea, epoxy, acryl, polycarbonate, polymethyl methacrylate, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl butyral, or any combination thereof.

A heat-generating fabric contains an modacrylic fiber A and an animal hair fiber. The modacrylic fiber A contains an infrared absorber inside of the fiber, in an amount of 1 to 30% by weight with respect to the total weight of the modacrylic fiber, and the fabric has a heat-shielding rate of less than 40% as measured according to JIS L 1951:2019. The heat-generating fabric contains a first yarn and a second yarn whose fiber composition is different from that of the first yarn. The first yarn may contain the modacrylic fiber A, and the second yarn may contain the animal hair fiber. Accordingly, it is possible to provide a fabric with good heat-generating performance and durability, and a textile product containing the fabric.

Fabrics and garments are disclosed that exhibit fire resistance. The fabric has yarn containing FR materials that provide for the fire resistance. The fabric is optionally dyed. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.

A ply-twisted yarn, and fabric and article comprising the yarn, the yarn comprising: (a) at least one first yarn comprising at least 50 weight percent heat-resistant polymeric fiber, wherein at least 30 weight percent of the polymeric fiber present in said yarn is cut-resistant heat-resistant polymeric fiber having a cut resistance of 500 grams force or higher per ASTM F2992-15; and (b) at least one second yarn having a sheath/core construction with a sheath of halogenated self-extinguishing staple fibers and a core comprising at least one continuous elastomeric filament, wherein 60 to 95 weight percent of (b) is halogenated self-extinguishing fiber, and the halogenated self-extinguishing fiber being in contact with the elastomeric filament and being free or substantially free of inorganic fibers.

A flame-resistant cut-resistant fabric, and a glove or other article comprising the fabric, the fabric comprising: (a) at least one first yarn comprising at least 50 weight percent heat-resistant polymeric fiber, wherein at least 30 weight percent of the polymeric fiber present in the at least one first yarn is cut-resistant heat-resistant polymeric fiber having a cut resistance of 500 grams force or higher per ASTM F2992-15; and (b) at least one second yarn having a sheath/core construction with a sheath of halogenated self-extinguishing staple fibers and a core comprising at least one continuous elastomeric filament, wherein 60 to 95 weight percent of the at least one second yarn is halogenated self-extinguishing fiber, and the halogenated self-extinguishing fiber is in contact with the at least one continuous elastomeric filament, the second yarn being free or substantially free of inorganic fibers; the fabric having a maximum after-flame time of two seconds or less and weight loss of 5 weight percent of less when tested per NFPA-2112-2018.

A fabric for use in arc and flame protection, and a process for producing a fire resistant fabric are provided. The fabric is comprised of: more than 15% aramids; less than 50% modacrylic; less than 50% cellulose; and less than 15% nylon. The process comprises shredding recycled fire resistant garments into fibers; creating yarn from the shredded fibers; weaving the yarn into fabric; and knitting the yarn to produce new garments. The fabric may be used to produce fire-resistant garments worn by workers in many industries such as the oil and gas.

A woven flame-resistant fabric for garments, the warp and fill yarns being made up of at least about 30 wt. % inherently flame-resistant fibers. The fabric is woven from a plurality of warp yarn groups consecutively arranged across the width direction in a recurring pattern, each warp yarn group consisting of a plurality of adjacent consecutively arranged warp yarns. At least one warp yarn in each warp yarn group is woven with the fill yarns in a plain (1/1) weave and at least one warp yarn in each warp yarn group is woven in one or more non-plain weaves each selected from the group consisting of 1/2, 2/1, 2/2, 1/3, and 3/1. Approximately half of the warp yarns in the fabric are woven in a plain (1/1) weave and the remaining warp yarns in the fabric are woven in the one or more non-plain weaves, in an alternating fashion.

Fabrics including a single-ply yarn are described herein along with fabrics that have low picks per inch or low courses per inch. The fabrics may comprise modacrylic fibers, meta-aramid fibers, anti-static fibers, and optionally para-aramid fibers, and the fabrics may comprise: about 10% or 20% to about 60% or 80% modacrylic fibers by weight of the fabric; about 20% or 40% to about 80% meta-aramid fibers by weight of the fabric; about 0.1% to about 2% anti-static fibers by weight of the fabric; and about 0% to about 10% para-aramid fibers by weight of the fabric.
