US 2026/0193818 A1 · YARNS AND TEXTILES FOR CUT RESISTANT DENIM

Abstract

A denim textile may be manufactured using a warp yarn and a weft yarn that give the denim textile cut-resistant properties. The warp and weft yarns may both have a first covering layer which is made from Ultra-High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE). The UHMWPE may provide cut-resistant properties to each of the warp yarn and weft yarn. Each of the warp yarn and weft yarn may also have a second covering of nylon. The nylon may give the denim textile a softer, more comfortable texture and flexibility, and may serve to impart a specific color on the denim textile. The weft yarn may additionally have a cotton, polyester and rayon fibers blended core that may also include spandex and/or other stretch fibers, which may collectively give the denim additional softness and flexibility. The resulting denim textile is expected to meet various ANSI test requirements for cut resistance and durability.
