Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making a protective garment, a garment produced in accordance with the method, and a strand material used in the method and garment. The strand material comprises cut resistant material such as Kevlar, aramid, metallic, and combined Kevlar and metallic strands, or the like, which are extrusion coated with vinyl, polyurethane or other suitable fluid impervious material. Coating the strands with fluid impervious material results in a cut resistant high strength fabric which is resistant to staining. The method comprises manipulating the strand material using substantially conventional textile fabric forming technology such as knitting to form a fabric and a garment, and may include coating the finished garment to achieve enhanced characteristics. One such characteristic which may be achieved is to make a garment fluid impervious, by coating a substrate with fluid impervious materials such as flexible urethane to protect the wearer.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method of making a protective garment, a garment produced in accordance with the method, and a strand material used in the method and garment. The strand material comprises entwined strands of metallic material such as a multifilament bundle of continuous filament stainless steel and a transistory material such as polyvinyl alcohol or polyester which can be removed by agents which are harmless to the metallic material. The method comprises manipulating the strand material using substantially conventional textile fabric forming technology such as knitting to form a fabric and a garment, and may include coating the finished garment with coating to achieve enhanced characteristics. The garments may be in the form of gloves, sleeves, aprons and the like.
