Abstract: A fabric is provided for use in safety apparel, including a first yarn type comprising at least about 60 percent modacylic fibers and a second yarn type comprising an intimate blend of anti-static fibers and other fibers selected from the group of fibers consisting of polyester, nylon, rayon, modacrylic, cotton, wool, and combinations thereof. The fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM F-1506 for flame resistance, Federal Test Method Standard 191A, Method 5931 for electrostatic decay, and the Electrostatic Discharge Association Advisory ADV11.2-1995 voltage potential.

Abstract: A convertible roofing material which includes an outer fabric layer formed at least partially of polymeric coated, core yarns such as a polyester core coated with polyvinyl chloride.

Abstract: A fabric for use in safety apparel comprising a first set of yarns comprising modacrylic fibers, and a second set of yarns comprising anti-static fibers. The fabric meets the Federal Test Method Standard 191A, Method 5931 for electrostatic decay, and the Electrostatic Discharge Association Advisory ADV11.2-1995 voltage potential.

Abstract: A fabric for use in safety apparel comprising yarns spun from a blend of staple fibers. At least 60 percent of the staple fibers are flame resistant fibers and up to 40 percent are non-flame resistant fibers. At least one dye type is applied to the fabric and is selected to dye both the flame resistant and non-flame resistant fibers in the blend. When dyed, the fabric meets both the American National Standards Institute standard ANSI/ISEA-107 minimum conspicuity requirements for occupational activities for high-visibility safety apparel and the American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM F-1506 for flame resistance.

Abstract: A yarn, fabric, and apparel formed from modacrylic fibers and high energy absorptive fibers. When the yarn is formed into a fabric comprised substantially of the yarn, the fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for flame resistance and the National Fire Protection Association standard for arc thermal performance exposure.
