Flame retardant textile fabric for Schutzbekleiduna
Field of the invention
A novel flame retardant fabric utilizing the characteristics of known flame retardant fibers combined with nonflammable natural fibers has been invented to provide a fabric having superior flame retardancy, superior heat protection properties, surprising physical properties and improved comfort for wear compared to other flame retardant fabrics to give the user.
Flame Barrier is a property of a material, such as a fiber or fabric, that does not burn in a normal air atmosphere. On contact with a flame, it will not support combustion when the flame is removed. &Quot; & quot flammability; should not be used with " flame retardant " a term used to describe a chemical substance that confers flame retardancy to a fabric. Flame retardant is also used to describe fabrics that have a reduced burn rate but may not provide protection against flames to users.
It is well known that flame retardant fabrics, especially those made from flame retardant fibers, can be used to provide protection against contact with flames. It is common practice for firefighters to wear garments that protect the user from the flames in a hazardous situation. The garment is intended to prevent direct contact of the clothed user's skin with flames and thereby reduce the risk of suffering from burn injuries.

Other occupational groups that require protection from flames include motorsport, police and security personnel, military personnel, and workers in the gas, petrochemical, and electrical utilities industries. 5
Protective clothing for protection against liquid metal splashes is used by welders and workers in the metal industry. In the metal industry, large amounts of energy are used to melt metal and generate electric arcs. Therefore, 10 protective clothing is required to provide protection against liquid metal splashes and electric arcs. Staff of
Electric utilities working on high-voltage equipment can be exposed to small metal splashes if electric arcs are accidentally generated. 15
It is highly desirable that fabrics used in these applications provide good wearer comfort, have good physical properties, and look-to-color, style, and haptics-suitable for the job. 20
Persons who wear protective clothing are usually active in stressful environments, where a heavy workload leads to a high consumption of physiological energy. This physiological stress results in the generation of body heat, a higher rate of sweat release, and moisture within the garment. It is highly desirable that fabrics used to make the garments should be able to wick away body heat and moisture to prevent overheating (heat stress) of the user's body. Textile fabrics that allow body heat and moisture to escape provide garments that feel more comfortable to wear and that also increase the amount of work that can be accomplished without exceeding physiological stress levels.

It is well known that cellulosic fibers can offer better comfort compared to synthetic fibers. This is because cellulose fibers are hydrophilic and absorb wet steam and liquid water. The regulation of the movement and distribution of water in the fabric is a property inherent in a cellulosic fiber.
For the intended applications, textile fabrics should remain unaffected by all the activities to which they are subjected. The 10 means that they must have high tensile strength, high abrasion resistance and good Zieherbeständigkeit.
Textile fabrics must also maintain their appearance over a longer service life. Therefore textile fabrics have to be washable and good wash resistance, low

There are also many instances where the color of a garment is relevant to its function, such as black for the riot police or signal yellow, orange or green for firefighters and industrial workers. Especially in the field of application 25 Motorsport, colors play an essential role in the differentiation and recognition of teams. Therefore, it is highly desirable that fabrics used for these applications can be easily dyed and printed in a wide range of colors and provide good fastness performance. 30

State of the art
Textile materials vary widely in their ability to withstand 10 flames, thus protecting underlying materials. Most fabrics made from natural fibers and synthetic fibers burn when they come into contact with flames. The rate of combustion and ignitability are determined primarily by the chemical nature of the polymer from which the fiber is made and the fabric construction. Many polymers, for example cellulose, polyester and nylon, are highly flammable. The heavier a textile fabric is, the lower the burning rate. Wool is the most widely used natural fiber which, to some degree, has low flammability properties -20 heavy wool fabrics are not easily burned and have been used in firefighter clothing in the past.
Textile fabrics for protection against liquid metal splashes, which are used in the metal industry, inter alia for welding applications 25, are often very heavy and stiff. The weight of the fabrics is in the range of 330 to 600g / m2. They are made of materials such as the treatment of flame-retardant cotton. Fabric can be treated by applying a suitable chemical to the fabric to make it flame resistant. The first textile fabrics rendered flame resistant by treatment used inorganic salts such as aluminum hydroxide, antimony trioxide and borates to make cotton fabrics

These were effective, but not wash-permanent.
Organic phosphorus-containing compounds that are reacted by either grafting or crosslinking on the cotton are more durable and widely used. Two of the leading brand names are Proban® and Pyrovatex®. Although these equipments are durable, they can be removed by aggressive chemical treatments, and the amount of equipment decreases with an increasing number of wash cycles. The equipment has a detrimental stiffening effect on the fabric. Textile fabrics of this type are used to protect against flames, liquid metal splashes and electric arcs. When in contact with flames, liquid metal or electric arcs, textile fabrics of this type do not burn, but become highly brittle and may break, exposing the wearer's skin to the source of the hazard.
The first flame-retardant cellulosic artificial fibers that were produced were made by the viscose process. A high viscosity liquid flame retardant additive was dispersed in the spinning solution prior to extrusion of the fiber. The liquid was trapped in the cellulose by physical means in the form of very small bubbles. The result was effective as a flame retardant fiber, however, the additive could be removed by repeated washing. The strength of the fiber decreases in proportion to the amount of incorporated additive. Due to safety concerns, the additive was removed from the market and the production of the fiber stopped. An improved flame retardant viscose fiber can be obtained by means of a
Solid pigment flame retardant can be produced. A fiber of this type is called " FR Viscose " designated. The pigment is finely ground and mixed with the spinning solution prior to extrusion of the fiber. The result is a dispersion of the insoluble particle additive in the fiber. The strength of the
POSSIBLE 5 PL0536 * * «« ♦ # »* · · · * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * · · * * * * * »* • i« «**» * a «« ι
Fiber decreases in proportion to the amount of incorporated additive. All of the cellulose in the fiber contains some of the additive, and the additive can not be removed by washing or normal fabric dyeing or finishing processes. Thus, the result 5 of the process is an inherently flame retardant fiber. A well known fiber of this type is Visil®, which contains silica pigment flame retardants.
A further improvement can be achieved by incorporating the solid pigment flame retardant into the spinning solution which is used to make 10 modal fibers. The modal procedure is a modified one
A viscose process designed to produce a fiber with a higher strength and a higher wet modulus than normal viscose. The resulting fiber containing the flame retardant pigment is inherently flame retardant. It is stronger than fibers made by the viscose process and gives fabrics with higher strength and better stability. Fibers of this type are termed " FR Modal " Note, however, that the properties of the fiber do not conform to the BISFA definition of a modal fiber. Proven flame retardant pigments for this type of fiber are organic 20 phosphorus compounds, and a preferred pigment is Exolit® 5060 (2-oxybis [5,5-dimethyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinane] 2,2'-disulfide). FR Modal is used in 100% form in only a few applications in the apparel sector, for example for metallized textile fabrics or fabrics which are blends of two or more yarns. By itself, its performance is inadequate in many ways compared to other products.
In the same way Lyocell fibers can be made flame resistant. Due to the different production conditions, different pigments are usually suitable. Fibers of this type are called " Lyocell FR " designated.

An alternative approach to making a FR fiber is to modify the polymer from which the fiber is made such that it is inherently difficult to degrease, yet can nevertheless be formed into a fiber. There are numerous examples of such fibers, but the most important are meta-aramid, para-aramid, polybenzimidazole (PBI), FR polyester and modacrylic used in personal protective apparel.
Flame retardant fibers can often be used alone to produce well-functioning fabrics. They can also be used in mixtures with each other and with non-flame resistant fibers to produce fabrics. Such composite textile sheets may have properties that are a combination of the properties of the fibers forming them.
Many flame retardant fabrics are available on the market. The most common for personal protective clothing for motorsport are: 100% -combustionable 100% cotton; Mixture of refractory finished cotton and polyamide (typ 85/15); Mixture of flame retardant cotton and polyamide (type 50/50); Blend of modacrylic and cotton (typ. 55/45), 100% meta-aramid; Mixture of meta-aramid and para-aramid (typ. 75/25); Mixture of meta-aramid, para-aramid and antistatic agent (typ. 93/5/2);
Each of these fabrics has its merits and deficiencies, as shown in Table 2 (see Example 3). The fabric selection process used by apparel manufacturers and designers is based on an assessment of overall performance and the required level of wearer protection based on a risk analysis and requirements of relevant standards.

Flame retardant cotton and cotton blend fabrics exhibit poor to medium performance, mediocre comfort, ease of processing and are the most affordable. Modacrylic compounds show mediocre performance, but poor comfort and cost more.
Aramid fabrics have good performance and good washing performance but are not comfortable and expensive. Furthermore, fabrics of aramid are difficult to dye in view of poor color, light and rubbing fastness properties. None of the currently available fabrics are rated good in the context of metal spatters or electric arcs. Only the sheet of meta-aramid and FR modal is rated good in terms of break-up behavior.

description
These objects have been achieved by means of a flame retardant fabric for use in personal protective clothing which offers a high degree of protection against flames and other heat sources and which is characterized in that it comprises a first fiber component, which is a flame retardant fiber, and a second fiber component, the silk is contains.
In order to provide a very exact description of the invention, the term " fiber " as either " staple fiber " or " filament " to understand.
Therefore, the flame resistant fibers according to the invention may be either staple fibers or filaments.
Silk is naturally flammable, although its flammability is low. Usually, the flammability of a fiber increases with decreasing diameter. Therefore, it came as a surprise that the very fine silk exhibits such excellent flammability behavior as
FOLLOW-UP 10 PL0536 ········································································································. «« · · · ♦♦ · · * ·· * · · «can be seen from the examples. The silk described and used in this invention has not been pretreated in any way to render it flame retardant.
In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the five flame retardant fibers are inherently flame retardant fibers. In particular, the flame resistant fibers are flame retardant cellulosic fibers. The flame retardant cellulosic fibers are selected from the group consisting of FR modal, FR viscose, FR lyocell fibers and mixtures thereof. The FR cellulosic fiber is a cellulose fiber which has been made flame retardant by the addition of a flame retardant during or after fiber production. In particular, the FR cellulose fibers of the yarn FR are modal fibers.
Also preferred are embodiments in which the flame retardant fibers are selected from the group consisting of para-aramid, meta-aramid, aromatic PES, PBI, modacrylic and mixtures of these fibers. Preferably, the high temperature resistant polymer fibers are para-aramid or meta-aramid fibers.
The silk may be in the form of either staple fibers or filaments 20. Although silk is originally made in the form of continuous filaments and would therefore usually be in filament form, silk staple fibers, which are chopped filaments, are also available.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the textile fabric additionally contains a third fiber component, which is a polymer fiber.
Preferably, the polymer fiber is a flame retardant polymer synthetic fiber, especially selected from the group consisting of para-aramid, meta-aramid, aromatic PES, PBI, PVA, modacrylic, and mixtures of these fibers.

Also preferably, the polymer fiber may be a non-flame retardant cellulosic fiber selected from the group consisting of cotton, viscose, modal, lyocell, hemp, linen, jute, ramie and sisal. Also preferably, the polymer fiber may be a non-flame retardant synthetic fiber selected from the group consisting of polyamides (PA).
The construction may consist of a yarn which is an intimate mixture containing the first fiber component and the second fiber component 10.
In another preferred embodiment, the yarn additionally contains the third fiber component.
The mixing ratio of the yarn is preferably: 40 to 60% flame retardant cellulose fibers, 15 to 3 to 10% flame retardant polymer synthetic fibers, and 40 to 60% silk.
In the context of this invention, "% " always " weight percent ". For example, a suitable specific mixing ratio is 45% FR modal, 5% flame retardant polymer synthetic fibers and 50% silk. 20 It comes as a surprise that a textile fabric with this
Fiber composition allows such excellent performance. In general, those skilled in the art believe that the higher the aramid fiber content, the better flame retardancy a fabric will have and the better it will provide protection. The fabric of the invention contains a high percentage of flame retardant cellulosic fiber and silk, but its performance is still better than currently available fabrics made by a high percentage or even 100% with aramid fibers.

In addition to embodiments of the inventive sheet structure incorporating only one type of yarn, another preferred embodiment is a flame retardant fabric which is characterized in that its construction 5 comprises a first yarn consisting of the first fiber component and a second yarn, which is 100% silk filament.
Another preferred embodiment of the fabric according to the invention is characterized in that its construction comprises a first yarn which is an intimate blend of the first fiber component staple fiber and the third fiber component staple fiber and a second yarn which is 100% silk filament.
Another preferred embodiment of the fabric according to the invention is characterized in that its construction comprises a first yarn which is 100% first fiber component filament and a second yarn which is 100% silk filament.
The textile fabric according to the invention preferably has a silk content of 10 to 50 percent by weight. In particular, the mixing ratio is in the range of 10 to 50 weight percent of low flammability cellulose fibers, 10 to 30 weight% of 20 flame retardant polymer fibers and 10 to 50 weight percent of silk staple fibers.
In the embodiments of this invention, one or more of the individual fiber components may be spun-dyed or flake-dyed staple fiber or dyed combed draw, yarn or sheet. 25 Flame retardant polymer fibers can either be spun-dyed or dyed in a flake or staple state.
The textile fabric according to the invention can be produced by means of weaving or knitting technology. It can also be made by a nonwoven fabric manufacturing process.

Antistatic properties of the fabric can be achieved by adding from 1 to 5% antistatic staple fiber to the blend or by providing an antistatic mesh by incorporating yarns into the fabric consisting of a base yarn twisted with continuous filament antistatic yarns.
In particular, the product of the invention is a fabric consisting of a yarn which is a blend of FR modal and a para-aramid or meta-aramid or a blend of the two aramid and silk. The textile fabric can be woven, knitted or manufactured using 10 nonwoven technologies.
The woven fabric has warp and weft which are composed of the blended yarn. The materials can also be introduced separately into the textile fabric by means of different warp and weft yarns. For example, the warp yarn may be a blend 15 of FR modal and para-aramid and the weft may be a silk staple fiber or filament yarn.
Even though the fabric comprises a percentage of silk, the fabric has excellent flammability and protection performance. It does not burn, it does not break on contact with a flame 20, and it still provides a barrier to flames.
Furthermore, even at a low fabric weight, the fabric provides a high level of protection against molten iron as well as excellent protection against electrical arcs. 25 The outstanding flammability and protective behavior of the textile
Sheet of the invention was previously possible only with textile fabrics such as 100% aramid, heavy modacrylic or by treatment flame retardant made cotton blends and fibers on an inorganic basis.
All this is achieved with a textile fabric that has a lower fabric weight, better protection, higher color fastness than others

Textile fabrics having a similar performance and the fabric is much more comfortable due to the high content of cellulose and silk fibers. *** "
The yarn is made from staple fibers by spinning the yarn by conventional methods such as ring spinning, air jet spinning, open end spinning, vortex spinning, comb spun spinning, half worsted spinning or any of the variations of these used in the yarn spinning industry, including ripstop technology. The staple length of the fibers for the primary yarn may be between 35 mm and 160 mm inclusive. The staple length must be suitable for the selected spinning system. Filament fibers can be incorporated in the form of twisted yarn.
The linear density (= titer) of the fibers and filaments used in the fabric is chosen to be suitable for the intended use. It is generally within the range commonly used for such textile applications. The linear density depends on the yarn spinning system used for the yarn. For a preferred embodiment of blended yarn according to the invention, during the preparatory processes prior to spinning the FR modal fiber, the para-aramid fiber and the silk fibers are mixed together in the required proportions. The yarn is an intimate blend of the three fibers, with each of the fibers being well distributed throughout the final yarn. This mixing may occur during the opening of the fibers, during carding, or during warping of the sliver.
The mixing ratio of the yarn according to the invention is preferably 45% FR modal, 5% para-aramid and 50% silk fibers or 50% FR modal and 50% silk fibers. REPLACED | 15 PL0536 »· · · Ott * · · ♦« »* · · · · · # ♦ · · t · *« · # ♦ «« ··
Other possible options for preferred blends include, but are not limited to, the following: 45% modacrylic, 5% para-aramid, 50% silk fibers or 50% modacrylic, 50% silk fibers, or 50% modacrylic, 10% linen - 40% silk fibers or 50% FR modal and 50% meta-aramid fiber in the chain, 100%

Antistatic properties of the fabric may be added by blending 1 to 5% antistatic fiber or by forming an antistatic grating in the fabric by means of yarns made by twisting the ground yarn with antistatic filament yarns.
The percentage of para-aramid fiber in the yarn can be up to 30%, but the cost of the fabric increases with increasing para-aramid content, with no noticeable increase in performance in accordance with applicable standards.

Fabric construction may be a plain weave, a twill weave, a hopsack tie, a satin weave, a sateen weave, or any other weave suitable for a protective apparel application. For knits a right-left fabric, Piquö or any other suitable fabric construction is possible. The fabric may have a light plain weave (i.e., 90 to 150 g / m2 basis weight) for shirt applications, racing suits, flight suits,
Lining materials, etc. It may be a midweight twill weave (i.e., 150 to 230 g / m 2 basis weight) for pants. It may also be a heavy twill weave (i.e., having a basis weight of 230 to 400 gsm) for jackets and other types of outerwear. The basic principle of the invention can be incorporated into a wide variety of fabrics. 400 g / m2 is particularly required in the case of liquid metal splashes. It will work regardless of bond or construction, provided the right yarn blends and arrangements are used.
The fabric of the invention can also be made by a nonwoven fabric manufacturing process. The fiber components 20 are mixed together and processed into a nonwoven fabric without first spinning a yarn. An example of such a fabric is a needled felt fabric in which the individual fiber components are blended together in a blender and then carded, cross-lapped and needled to form a fabric. Such a fabric is useful as insulative lining in a garment or could be used to make simple garments such as aprons. To improve the durability, a woven or laid grid yarn construction in the form of a scrim may also be included. Other suitable technical possibilities for such textile fabrics are spunlace hydroentanglement nonwovens.

Lenzing FR® is a low-flammability modal fiber available from Lenzing AG in Austria, which is produced according to a modal process (see AT-A 1371/2009) and contains Exolit® as a flame-retardant pigment. The three fiber components were mixed together during the preliminary processing of warping the slivers. The warp count of the fabric was 28 threads per cm. The weft count was 26 threads per cm. The resulting textile fabric had a weight per unit area of 120 g / m 2.

Protection against flames:
The resulting textile fabric could not be ignited in normal atmospheric conditions. Upon contact with flames directed at the surface of the fabric, the fabric charred but retained its structure and continued to serve as a barrier to flame. No holes were created in the textile fabric. The fabric remained soft and flexible without any breakage upon contact with flames according to EN IS015025, 10 Method A - Surface inflammation. Further, when the flame was applied to the surface of the fabric as well as throughout the 10 second flame duration, no shrinkage of the fabric was observed. Postflame and afterglow of the fabric when tested in accordance with EN ISO 15025, Method A, were 0 seconds in the warp direction and 0 seconds in the weft direction.
