Dense, highly stable, high performance ballistic material comprises at least one woven layer of ballistic grade fiber (preferably a stack of such layers) and at least one nonwoven layer of fabric which is entangled with the woven or unidirectional layer by needle felting. The resulting core material does not require assembly of individual woven layers during subsequent manufacture of ballistic articles and exhibits excellent ballistic performance at low areal densities and thicknesses.

Enhanced energy absorbing materials

An insulating fabric which substantially prevents propagation of fire uses a blend of modified aluminum oxide-silica fibers and organic fibers in a multi-layer blanket.

Thermal and acoustic insulation fabric

A non-woven weld blanket for protecting automobile exteriors and interiors and industrial equipment from weld spatter, comprising a needle punched webbing of pre-oxidized, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) fibers. The fabric is assembled using these carbon precursor fibers that have been interlocked by a needle punch process to produce a non-woven and non-plush blanket. The weld blanket is lightweight and is successful at a cost-effective thickness and density. In use, the blanket can be taped to automobile components or industrial equipment to ensure the security and protection of equipment from molten metal spatter near welding locations.

Carbon-based weld blanket, methods of making and methods of use

A flame and heat resistant paper is disclosed having high burnthrough prevention capability, as required in aircraft applications. The paper is prepared from modified aluminum oxide silica fibers, in addition to other components, and has exceptional tensile strength and flexibility as compared to conventional inorganic papers.

Fireblocking/insulating paper

A fire blocking material is disclosed comprising a nonwoven fabric including para-aramid fibers and pre-oxidized polyacrylonitrile, and optionally, a garnett of recycled polybenzimidazole, para-aramid or meta-aramid, or combinations thereof to form a fire blocking textile meeting Federal Aviation Administration regulation FAR 25.853 and Appendix F to Part 25.
