Abstract
There is provided a cut resistant yarn comprising a blend of first and second staple fibers, wherein, the first staple fibers are polymer-fibers, each first staple fiber comprising a polymer body encasing a hard component, said hard component being a plurality of hard fibers, said hard fibers having an average diameter of at most 25 microns; and the second staple fibers are different to the first staple fibers, wherein the weight ratio of the first to second staple polymer-fibers is from 1:99 to 99:1.
Claims22
A cut resistant yarn comprising a blend, wherein the blend consists of first and second staple fibers, wherein:
- a) the first staple fibers are polymer-fibers, each first staple fiber comprising a polymer body encasing a hard component, said hard component being a plurality of hard fibers, said hard fibers having an average diameter of at most 25 microns;
- and
- b) the second staple fibers are different than the first staple fibers, and wherein
- the first to second staple fibers are present in the blend in a weight ratio from 1:99 to 99:1.
A method of making a cut resistant fabric comprising a step of knitting, braiding, or weaving a cut-resistant yarn to form the cut-resistant fabric, wherein the cut-resistant yarn consists of a blend of first and second staple fibers at a weight ratio of the first staple fibers to the second staple fibers from 1:99 to 99:1, wherein the first staple fibers are polymer-fibers, each first staple fiber comprising a polymer body encasing a hard component, said hard component being a plurality of hard fibers, said hard fibers having an average diameter of at most 25 microns, and wherein the second staple fibers are different than the first staple fibers.
A method of manufacturing a cut-resistant garment comprising a step of knitting a cut-resistant yarn to form the cut-resistant garment, wherein the cut-resistant yarn consists of a blend of first and second staple fibers at a weight ratio of the first staple fibers to the second staple fibers from 1:99 to 99:1, wherein the first staple fibers are polymer-fibers, each first staple fiber comprising a polymer body encasing a hard component, said hard component being a plurality of hard fibers, said hard fibers having an average diameter of at most 25 microns, and wherein the second staple fibers are different than the first staple fibers.
A method of manufacturing a garment comprising:
- (i) providing a cut-resistant fabric which is comprised of a cut resistant yarn consisting of a blend of first and second staple fibers at a weight ratio of the first staple fibers to the second staple fibers from 1:99 to 99:1, wherein the first staple fibers are polymer-fibers, each first staple fiber comprising a polymer body encasing a hard component, said hard component being a plurality of hard fibers, said hard fibers having an average diameter of at most 25 microns, and wherein the second staple fibers are different than the first staple fibers;
- and
- (ii) stitching the cut-resistant fabric into a garment.
