Abstract
A heat resistant woven fabric with an optional aluminized backing is disclosed. The fabric is particularly suited for heat resistant garments intended to resist radiant heat and heavy molten metal splashes in the temperature range of 2700.degree.-3000.degree. F. The preferred fabric has core-spun yarns with a flame and high heat resistant filament core covered by a layer of flame retardant fibers consisting of at least 35% melamine.
Claims6
A weavable, high temperature resistant composite yarn comprised of at least 35% melamine fiber by weight and the balance thereof selected from the group consisting of aramid, polybenzimidazole, phenolic, carbon, flame resistant acrylic and flame resistant cellulosic fibers.
