Abstract
A flame resistant fabric with better tear strength and specifically a flame resistant fabric with tear strength flame resistant 100% cotton yarn are provided. The 100% cotton yarn is produced using a combination of compact spinning technology and gassing and/or singeing process performed in tandem, the yarn is weaved into fabric by pre-established process and the fabric is flame retardant finished by using chemicals and lubricants by pre-established process to form the flame resistant fabric with better tear strength. Also, a method of manufacturing the flame resistant cotton fabric that has a better tear strength after fire resistant treatments provided. Advantageously, the flame resistant fabric is affordable, light weight and has better tensile and tear strength.
Claims8
A method of manufacturing fabric with high tear strength and flame resistant properties, said method comprising:
- using 100% cotton fibers;
- compact spinning the fibers in to yarn;
- removing short hairs on the yarn remaining after the compact spinning process by gassing and/or singeing;
- weaving the yarn into fabric on a weaving machine;
- and
- performing a fire retardant treatment on the fabric using chemicals and lubricants at subsequent wet processing stage,
- wherein the compact spinning process and the gassing and singeing are performed in tandem,
- wherein the compact spinning process eliminates all but short hairs of the yarn,
- wherein the gassing and/or singeing process removes all hair of the yarn including short, medium and long, and
- wherein the fibers in the yarn due to compact spinning are aligned and embedded to provide enhanced tear strength by preventing the surface fibers getting stretched and/or stressed and breaking during processing and/or subsequent washing which produces hairiness.
A method of manufacturing fabric with high tear strength and flame resistant properties, said method comprising:
- using blended cotton fibers;
- compact spinning the fibers in to yarn;
- removing short hairs on the yarn remaining after the compact spinning process by gassing and/or singeing;
- weaving the yarn into fabric on a weaving machine;
- and
- performing a fire retardant treatment on the fabric using chemicals and lubricants at subsequent wet processing stage,
- wherein the compact spinning process and the gassing and singeing are performed in tandem,
- wherein the compact spinning process eliminates all but short hairs of the yarn,
- wherein the gassing and/or singeing process removes all hair of the yarn including short, medium and long and
- wherein the fibers in the yarn due to compact spinning are aligned and embedded to provide enhanced tear strength by preventing the surface fibers getting stretched and/or stressed and breaking during processing and/or subsequent washing which produces hairiness.
