Patent ID: 8689413

Claim:
A method of manufacturing fabric with high tear strength and flame resistant properties, said method comprising: using 100% cotton fibers; compact spinning the fibers in to yarn; removing short hairs on the yarn remaining after the compact spinning process by gassing and/or singeing; weaving the yarn into fabric on a weaving machine; and performing a fire retardant treatment on the fabric using chemicals and lubricants at subsequent wet processing stage, wherein the compact spinning process and the gassing and singeing are performed in tandem, wherein the compact spinning process eliminates all but short hairs of the yarn, wherein the gassing and/or singeing process removes all hair of the yarn including short, medium and long, and wherein the fibers in the yarn due to compact spinning are aligned and embedded to provide enhanced tear strength by preventing the surface fibers getting stretched and/or stressed and breaking during processing and/or subsequent washing which produces hairiness.
