Abstract
A flame-resistant elastic plaited fabric made of a first yar containing a flame-resistant fiber or a blend of flame-resistant fibers, and a second yarn being an elastomeric yarn covered by a synthetic yarn, wherein the first yarn and the second yarn are plaited in a knitted construction. A method of making and an article are also provided.
Claims12
A fabric comprising:
- a first yarn comprises a flame-resistant fiber or a blend of flame-resistant fibers, and
- a second yarn is an elastomeric yarn covered by a synthetic yarn, and
- wherein the fabric is constructed of two different yarns, the yarns being the first yarn and the second yarn plaited in a knitted construction, and wherein the fabric is rated for CAT 2 arc flash protection at a weight of 7 oz/yd2 or less.
A method of making a flame-resistant elastic plaited fabric, the method comprising:
- plaiting two yarns in a knitted construction a first yarn comprising a flame-resistant fiber or a blend of flame-resistant fibers, and a second yarn is an elastomeric yarn covered by a synthetic yarn to form a plaited fabric, and wherein the plaited fabric is rated for CAT 2 arc flash protection at a weight of 7 oz/yd2 or less.
An article comprising:
- a two-yarn fabric construction comprising:
- a first yarn comprising a flame-resistant fiber or a blend of flame-resistant fibers, and a second yarn is an elastomeric yarn covered by a synthetic yarn, wherein the first yarn and the second yarn are plaited in a knitted construction, and wherein the two-yarn fabric construction is rated for CAT 2 arc flash protection at a weight of 7 oz/yd2 or less.
