The invention relates to the technical field of protective fabrics, in particular to a novel light flame-retardant heat-insulated warm-retention protective fabric and a preparation method thereof
Substances against flame, heat, static and chemical acid and alkaline have been extensively required for individual protection of workers working at high-temperature, inflammable and explosive places, such as firefighting, petrochemical engineering, flammable chemicals, power, racing, aerospace and military. Among these, different flame-retardant materials are applied to diversified application fields according to varying flame-retardant requirements. In addition to the flame-retardant requirements, there are requirements of heat insulation and heat stability for flame-retardant materials, because requirements for thermal radiation is always accompanied by requirements for flame-retardance.
The flame retardance, heat insulation and heat stability are the essential conditions for the apparel fabric. In terms of flame-retardant function, the flame retardant requirements can be realized by using flame-retardant fibers or flame-retardant treatment, typical flame-retardant fibers include aramid fibers 1313, flame-retardant viscose, flame-retardant polyester fibers and Modacrylic, while the flame retardance of a cotton fabric is generally realized by flame-retardant treatment. In terms of heat stability, it reflects the dimensional stability and material morphology of the fabric at different temperatures and different time, and heat stability at high temperature can be realized by adding fibers such as LEVLAR and the like. In terms of heat insulation and warm retention, which can be realized by increasing the gram weight of the fabric or increasing the layer number of a composite fabric, whereby the originally heavy clothing will get heavier and more complicate.
It should be further explained that the structure of the flame-retardant heat-insulated protective fabric commonly applied around the world is generally divided into four layers, including: 1. an outer layer: 3A yarn made of 3A fabric, 93% of aramid fibers 1313, 5% of aramid fibers 1414 and 2% of antistatic fibers, the 3A woven fabric woven by the 3A yarns has good heat stability, flame resistance and antistatic performance, gram weight of 180-250 g, but poor heat insulation and warm retention; 2. a second layer: 70-100 g/m2 of needled non-woven layer made of aramid fibers 1313 to strengthen heat insulation and warm retention; 3. a third layer: a flame-retardant non-woven fabric made of water and oil repellent PTFE fibers to achieve the purpose of water and oil repellence; 4. a fourth layer: an inner layer, a woven fabric made by blending the aramid fibers 1313 and the flame-retardant viscose, which is a comfortable layer, with the gram weight of 100-150 g/m2 of the woven fabric. With respect to the fabric of the flame-retardant heat-insulated protective fabric, the above four layers act to provide flame retardance, static resistance, heat stability, heat insulation, warm retention, water and oil repellence, and skin comfort, respectively.
However, the flame-retardant heat-insulated protective fabric above has the defects of being too heavy and tedious during actual use, which makes the users feel extremely unnatural and strong weight oppressive feeling; therefore, countries in the world are looking for light fabrics which can ensure warm retention and flame-retardance to meet market demands. To this end, scientific and technical workers from different countries have been made extensive research on the flame-retardant heat-insulated fabrics to meet the demands, for example, a Chinese patent for invention (patent No. ZL201320683185.1) discloses a double layer fabric interlaced by aramid fibers 1313 and aramid fibers 1414, which using the different heat shrinkable properties of aramid fibers 1313 and aramid fibers 1414 at high temperature, at which aramid fiber 1313 shrinks but aramid fiber 1414 doesn't shrink, thus an air layer among yarns is generated to provide the effects of heat insulation and warm retention; in addition, there is a fabric of which the interior layer of the fourth layer is changed into a raised structure in the prior art, so that comfort can be ensured, and more air layers can be provided to realize heat insulation and warm retention. It can be seen from the technical improvement above that the design essentials of the composite fabric above is to realize the effect of improving heat insulation and warm retention by increasing air ingredient via increasing air or void fraction among the yarns because the heat conductivity coefficient of air is minimum.
However, the air among the yarns of the composite fabric is flowing, although it can play a certain function of heat insulation and warm retention, the flowing air also has heat conductivity. In addition, although the void fraction of the composite fabric above is increased, the gram weight of the fabric is also increased, i.e. the effects of heat insulation and warm retention is only limitedly increased, and the gram weight of single fabric is increased.
The objective of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing a novel light flame-retardant heat-insulated warm-retention protective fabric in view of the defects of the prior art. Yarns of the protective fabric made by the method for preparing the novel light flame-retardant heat-insulated warm-retention protective fabric will generate still air, with respect to the protective fabric with flowing air in the prior art, the protective fabric of the present invention has advantages of better warm retention and heat insulation, and lighter weight and stronger comfort.
