FIRE INSULATING BARRIER MATERIAL FOR A FIREFIGHTER PROTECTIVE GARMENT

摘要

The fire insulating barrier material ( 10 ) is for use in a firefighter's protective garment. It material comprises a first fabric layer ( 12 ) and a second fabric layer ( 14 ) attached to the first layer ( 12 ) by pile yarns ( 16 ), thereby creating a space ( 18 ) therebetween. The space ( 18 ) contains an insulating substance. This material ( 10 ) advantageously uses a simpler confection and a more compact arrangement than conventional fire insulating barrier materials.
