Pucker and shrink resistant flame retardant fabric formed of corespun yarns.

摘要

A fabric formed of yarns (10) having a core (11) formed of fire-resistant filaments and a sheath (12) formed of staple fibers and a cured, crosslinked composition applied to one surface of the fabric is provided. The composition comprises a first crosslinkable resin having an affinity for the fire-resistant filament core (11) and a second crosslinkable resin having an affinity for the staple fiber sheath (12) and for the first crosslinkable resin. The fabric because of the composition is pucker and shrink resistant, and the tensile strength and flexibility of the yarns and the aesthetic appeal of the fabric are maintained when the fabric is washed repeatedly.
