Abstract: The present invention relates to novel articles, especially non-woven articles comprising fibers and/or fibrids. It also relates to novel fibers and fibrids and to a process for obtaining these fibers and fibrids.

Abstract: The invention relates specifically to novel articles and, in particular, to non-woven articles comprising fibres and/or fibrids. The invention also relates to novel fibres and fibrids and to a method of producing said fibres and fibrids.

Abstract: This material is remarkable in that it is made by weaving or knitting, in such a manner as to form a structure comprising two superposed faces (1, 2) intermittently interconnected to each other so as to form pockets, and in which: one of the layers shrinks under the effect of heat; and the linking between the layers is implemented by intermittently linking selected yarns so as to form said pockets.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a multilayer material for the production of protective clothing, in particular for firefighters, comprising, from the exterior toward the interior: a double-layer exterior fabric comprised of an exterior side and an interior side; optionally a membrane support; a waterproof/breathable membrane; optionally a thermal barrier; an interior lining. Characteristically, the exterior fabric has a weight equal to or greater than 285 g/m2 and the ratio between the weight per square meter of the layers located in front of the membrane and that of the layers located behind the membrane is greater than or equal to 1.8.

Abstract: The invention concerns a textile surface having at least a high-visibility face. It is obtained from yarns or fibres of at least three types, of blanketing yarns or fibres, heat-stable yarns or fibres and high-visibility yarns or fibres. The surfaces provide excellent protection against fire and flames.

Abstract: The invention relates to composite yarn of bright color. It is obtained from yarn or fibers of at least two types, yarn or fibers of bright color and temperature-stable and/or smothering yarn or fibers. The yarn and the textile articles obtained from said yarn provide excellent protection against heat and/or flame.
