| Abstract |
A three-layered fire protective fabric which is particularly useful for fabrication of 'fire Approach suit', which enables fireman to operate in close APPROACH of fire having temperature as high as 1120 °c for short periods up to 10 minutes from a distance of 05 meters. The outer shell is woven fabric made by cotton line spinning technique. It is made out of a fabric consisting a blend of high heat, high flame resistant materials such as BasofiI, Carbon & Nomex. The moisture barrier is a woven fabric made by cotton line spinning technique. It is made of a fabric consisting of a blend of high heat, flame resistant materials (such as Basofil, Carbon & Nomex). It is coated on both sides with Neoprene rubber to minimize liquid moisture absorption. The face cloth is made up of fire retardant cotton fabric. |
