ABSTRACT:
Provided herein are several inventive fabrics having warp yarns and fill yarns, where the warp yarns preferably are an intimate blend of synthetic and cellulosic fibers and where the fill yarns are preferably a patternwise arrangement of synthetic and cellulosic yarns. Such fabric possesses sufficient cellulosic content (i.e., at least 45% by weight) to be easily rendered flame retardant, while simultaneously possessing sufficient synthetic content (i.e., at least 30% by weight) to be abrasion resistant and long-lasting. In one embodiment, the subject fabrics are treated with one or more flame retardant chemicals, typically in the presence of ammonia gas. In a second embodiment, the subject fabrics are coated on one side with an elastomeric composition into which a flame retardant compound has been incorporated. In yet another embodiment, the subject fabrics are both treated and coated to achieve flame retardance.
