Fabric and method for obtaining said fabric

Method for producing a combustion resistant upholstery fabric with a weight of approximately 180-210 g/m2, said method comprising:

• at least one preparation step of an intimate blend yarn with 65% by weight of polyester fibers and 35% by weight of cotton fibers,
• at least one weaving step with a 2/1 twill weave of said yarn thus prepared to obtain a fabric,
• at least one washing step of said fabric to obtain a bleached fabric,
• at least one step of pressing said bleached fabric, said at least one pressing step involves inserting said bleached fabric inside at least one calender to obtain an upholstery fabric,
• wherein:
• said at least one step of pressing said bleached fabric comprises heated calendaring;
• said at least one pressing step further comprises passing said bleached fabric between heated and counter-rotating rollers of said calender, in which said rollers are heated to a temperature higher than 150° C., at a pressure higher than 200 kg/cm2;
• the method does not provide for the application of any flame-retardant chemical salt to the upholstery fabric;
• the combustion resistant upholstery fabric according to the invention is not treated with flame retardant materials;
• said upholstery fabric obtained following said at least one pressing step is equipped with air permeability which allows an air flow passage of less than 55 mm/s, at a pressure of 200 Pa.
