Wearable Light Weight Protective Apparel

A light weight fabric for flame retardant protective wear, comprising:

• flame retardant viscose fibers from about 40% to about 60% by weight of total weight of the fabric;
• meta aramid fibers from about 25% to about 40% by weight of total weight of the fabric;
• para aramid fibers from about 5% to about 10% by weight of total weight of the fabric;
• and
• nylon 66 fibers from about 5% to about 10% by weight of total weight of the fabric.

A process of manufacturing a light weight fabric for flame retardant protective wear, comprising the steps:

• spinning the fibers forming yarns wherein said spinning comprising the steps of:
• treating the fibers in a predetermined ratio in a blow room by opening and blending the fiber in a predetermined ratio;
• processing the fiber in a carding machine for cleaning the impurities, naps thereby providing an output sliver;
• passing the fiber through a draw frame for making the fibers parallel for removing hooks;
• winding of the fibers were carried out to make a bigger package;
• steaming the fibers to remove a snarling;
• and
• parallel winding thereby forming a double yarn;
• weaving of the yarns wherein said weaving further comprising the steps of:
• warping the double yarns for making warp sheet for loom processing;
• sizing the warped double yarn by using a modified starch, a lubricant and a softener for enhancing the weavability of the fiber;
• and
• weaving the sized yarns in a predefined pattern on an air jet loom for forming stellar weave fabric;
• wet processing of the fabric wherein said wet processing further comprising the steps of:
• singeing of the fabric by burning protruding fibers by singeing machine through a gas burner;
• desizing the fabric for removal of added impurities;
• washing the fabric with hot water for removal of impurities;
• vat dyeing of the fabric through pad dry-pad steam process;
• developing the fabric on a continuous dyeing range machine by padding with a reducing agent followed by steaming;
• oxidation of the fabric with H2O2 followed by washing;
• and
• drying at a vertical drying range;
• treating the fabric by a hydrophilic softener on a stenter machine for facilitating soft hand feel to the fabric;
• and
• sanforising the treated fabric in length and width for providing the light weight fabric having permanent dimensions.
