Abstract: A washable fire-resistant fabric and a method for making a washable fire-resistant fabric comprises a lightweight pliant non-woven batt blended from two types of fire-resistant organic fibers which are non-irritating to human skin. A method for stitch bonding a pliant batt of intertwined fire-resistant fibers to form a fabric which is durable and resistant to unraveling is also provided. The fabric has fire-resistant properties wherein the fabric prevents the ignition of articles made therefrom when exposed to high heat or flame sources and further insulates a wearer of the clothing from high heat or flame sources to prevent serious burns.

Abstract: A non-woven weld blanket for protecting automobile exteriors and interiors and industrial equipment from weld spatter, comprising a needle punched webbing of pre-oxidized, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The fabric is assembled using these carbon precursor fibers that have been interlocked by a needle punch process to produce a non-woven and non-plush blanket. The weld blanket is lightweight and is successful at a cost-effective thickness and density. In use, the blanket can be taped to automobile components or industrial equipment to ensure the security and protection of equipment from molten metal spatter near welding locations.

Abstract: A heat insulating blanket for use in fire emergencies comprises a lightweight, pliant section of fabric comprised of organic fibers and is compatible with human skin contact. The fabric has fire-resistant properties to insulate a user from high heat or flame sources associated with fire emergencies and prevents burn injuries to the user until the user escapes from the fire emergency area.
