Abstract
The present disclosure relates to patterned, flame resistant fabrics and methods of making them. Generally speaking, the fabrics comprise a plurality of high tenacity, flame resistant fibers, and a plurality of cellulosic fibers containing a flame retardant compound, and at least one color which is printed on the fabric to form the pattern. In a preferred embodiment, the flame resistant fibers are para-aramid fibers and the cellulosic fibers are rayon fibers to yield a strong, flame resistant fabric.
Claims28
A patterned flame resistant fabric, comprising:
- a plurality of non-producer colored high tenacity, flame resistant fibers;
- a plurality of cellulosic fibers containing a flame retardant compound, the cellulosic fibers being blended with the high tenacity, flame resistant fibers;
- and
- at least one color that is printed on the fabric to form said pattern.
A camouflaged-patterned flame resistant fabric, comprising:
- a plurality of non-producer colored para-aramid fibers;
- a plurality of cellulosic fibers containing a flame retardant compound, the cellulosic fibers being blended with the high tenacity, flame resistant fibers;
- and
- a plurality of colors that are printed on the fabric to form a camouflage pattern.
A patterned flame resistant garment, comprising:
- fabric that includes:
- a plurality of non-producer colored high tenacity, flame resistant fibers;
- a plurality of cellulosic fibers containing a flame retardant compound, the cellulosic fibers being blended with the high tenacity, flame resistant fibers;
- and
- at least one color that is printed on the fabric to form said pattern.
