Title:
FIBER BLENDS FOR GARMENTS WITH HIGH THERMAL, ABRASION RESISTANCE, AND MOISTURE MANAGEMENT PROPERTIES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/137213
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Fiber blends useful for garments with a balance of high thermal, abrasion resistance, and moisture management properties are disclosed. The fiber blends comprise a hydrophobic fiber component, a hydrophilic fiber component, a structural fiber component, and an optional antistatic fiber. Yarns, fabrics, and garments comprising the fiber blends are also disclosed. Such garments are particularly useful for occupations requiring high thermal properties and abrasion resistance, such as fire fighters, utility workers, and military personnel, without compromising comfort of the wearers by maintaining breathability and moisture management properties of the fabric.
