Abstract:
1. A flame resistant fiber blend for use in the production of a flame barrier, the fiber blend comprising: a) 10-85% by weight slickened inherently flame retardant fibers selected from the group consisting of melamines, flame retardant viscose rayons, and combinations thereof; b) 10-85% by weight fibers made with halogenated monomers; c) 0-60% by weight non-flame resistant synthetic fibers; d) 0-60% by weight non-flame resistant natural fibers: e) wherein the amount of slickened inherently flame retardant fibers and fibers made with halogenated monomers is at least 25% by weight; and f) wherein at least some of the non-flame resistant synthetic fibers or the non-flame resistant natural fibers are slickened.
