<p>A ballistic resistant woven fabric which is utilized in the construction of ballistic resistant protective items. The ballistic resistant woven fabric is formed of a weave of high strength fibers of poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) material. The woven fabric has a wa rp of less than thirty poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers per inch. The weave of t he woven fabric has a weft of less than thirty poly(p-phenylene-2,6-benzobisoxazole) fibers per inch. In an alternative arrangement, the ballistic resistant woven fabric has a warp wit h two adjacent fibers in which one fiber is constructed of a first material and another adjacent fiber is constructed of a second material. The weft of the woven fabric has a fiber constructed of the first material and another adjacent fiber of the weft is constructed of the second material. Various weaves for the ballistic resistant woven fabric may be employed such as a plain weave, sate en weave, venetian weave or a corkscrew weave. The weaves may selectively be balanced or unbalanced. Twisted fibers may selectively be utilized in the various weaves with the twists ranging from one-quarter to three twists per linear inch of fiber.</p> |
