FLAME RESISTANT FIBER BLENDS AND FLAME RESISTANT YARNS, FABRICS, AND GARMENTS FORMED THEREOF

摘要

A flame resistant fiber blend includes a plurality of modacrylic flame resistant fibers comprising a first weight percentage of the fiber blend; a plurality of non-flame resistant hydrophilic/absorbent fibers comprising a second weight percentage of the fiber blend, wherein the second weight percentage is greater than the first weight percentage; and a plurality of second flame resistant fibers comprising a third weight percentage of the fiber blend. In one implementation, the fiber blend includes 20 wt% to 45 wt% of modacrylic flame resistant fibers; 40 wt% to 75 wt% of hydrophilic/ absorbent fibers; and 5 wt% to 30 wt% of second flame resistant fibers. The flame resistant fiber blend is used to form flame resistant yarns, fabrics (20), and garments (10) formed thereof.
