Abstract
A high performance fabric comprised of a plurality of high-performance fibers coated with an anti-microbial compound and an anti-stain compound, where the high-performance fibers are polyester microfibers for comfort. The anti-microbial compound is a wash resistant non-organic antibacterial or a non-organic microbicidal. The anti-stain compound is hydrophobic or superhydrophobic, preferably polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone. Optionally, additional flame resistant fibers are interwoven with the high-performance fibers to increase flame resistance.
Claims18
A high performance fabric, comprising:
- a) a plurality of high-performance fibers;
- b) an anti-microbial compound affixed to the high-performance fibers;
- and
- c) an anti-stain compound affixed to the high-performance fibers.
A method making a high performance fabric, the method comprising the steps of:
- a) creating a flame resistant fabric blend comprising inherently flame resistant fibers;
- b) coating the flame resistant fabric blend with an anti-microbial compound;
- and
- c) coating the flame resistant fabric blend with an anti-stain compound affixed to the high-performance fibers.
