A fire resistant textile material comprises a woven face fabric and a back fabric. One or both of the warp and weft threads of the face fabric comprises spun or multi-filament yarns composed of a mixture of polybenzimidazole (PBI) and polyparaphenylene terephthalamide (para-aramid) fibres and spun or multifilament yarn composed of a mixture of meta-aramid and para-aramid fibres. The warp of the backing fabric comprises para-aramid yarns and the weft of the backing fabric comprises a mixture of para-aramid and PBI yarns. The fabric may be used for producing fire fighters garments having a good combination of fire resistance, wear and light fastness. |
