Abstract:
Embodiments of the invention relate to flame resistant fabrics containing fibers having at least one energy absorbing and/or reflecting additive incorporated into the fibers. Inclusion of such fibers into the fabric increases the arc rating/fabric weight ratio of the fabric while still complying with all requisite thermal protective requirements.

Claim (Index 13):
A single layer woven or knitted flame resistant fabric having a fiber blend comprising additive-containing fibers comprising a first percentage of the fiber blend and non-additive-containing fibers comprising a second percentage of the fiber blend, wherein:\n a. the additive-containing fibers comprise producer-colored meta-aramid fibers; b. the non-additive-containing fibers comprise modacrylic fibers and non-flame resistant lyocell fibers; c. the first percentage is at least 50% and no more than 70% of the fiber blend; d. the second percentage is at least 30% and no more than 50% of the fiber blend; e. the first percentage is greater than the second percentage; f. the fabric has a fabric weight greater than or equal to 4 ounces per square yard (osy) and less than or equal to 7 osy; g. the fabric has a before-wash char length less than or equal to 4 inches when tested according to ASTM Test D6413; and h. the fabric has an afterflame less than 2 seconds when tested according to ASTM Test D6413.
