<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for producing a hydrophobically finished aramid fabric with good antiballistic efficiency even in the wet state. <P>SOLUTION: The method for producing an aramid fabric includes at least (a) providing an aramid yarn, (b) applying a water-repellent agent to the aramid yarn, (c) drying the aramid yarn resulting from step (b), (d) producing a fabric from the aramid yarn resulting from step (c), and (e) heat treating the fabric. The fabric is used to produce a hydrophobically finished and antiballistically effective article. The v50 values for the hydrophobically finished fabrics of the invention are in the wet state higher than, and in the dry state at least as high as or higher than, the values for hydrophobically finished fabrics not of the invention in the wet and dry states, respectively. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO&NCIPI</p> |
