MELAMINE THERMAL PROTECTIVE FABRIC AND CORE-SPUN HEAT RESISTANT YARN FOR MAKING THE SAME

摘要

A heat resistant woven fabric with an optional aluminized backing is disclosed. The fabric is particularly suited for heat resistant garments intended to resist radiant heat and heavy molten metal splashes in the temperature range of 27003000.degree.F. The preferred fabric has core-spun yarns with a flame and high heat resistant filament core covered by a layer of flame retardant fibers consisting of at least 35% melamine.
