A fabric is provided for use in safety apparel, including a first yarn type comprising at least about 60 percent modacylic fibers and a second yarn type comprising an intimate blend of anti-static fibers and other fibers selected from the group of fibers consisting of polyester, nylon, rayon, modacrylic, cotton, wool, and combinations thereof. The fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard ASTM F-1506 for flame resistance, Federal Test Method Standard 191A, Method 5931 for electrostatic decay, and the Electrostatic Discharge Association Advisory ADV11.2-1995 voltage potential.

Flame-resistant, high visibility, anti-static fabric and apparel formed therefrom

The fabric meets the Federal Test Method Standard 191A, Method 5931 for electrostatic decay, and the Electrostatic Discharge Association Advisory ADV11.2-1995 voltage potential.

A yarn, fabric, and apparel formed from modacrylic fibers and high energy absorptive fibers. When the yarn is formed into a fabric comprised substantially of the yarn, the fabric meets the American Society for Testing and Materials standard for flame resistance and the National Fire Protection Association standard for arc thermal performance exposure.

Flame-resistant and high visibility fabric and apparel formed therefrom

A fabric for use in safety apparel and items of apparel formed substantially from modacrylic yarns and a cationic dye applied to the fabric so that the dyed fabric meets both the American National Standards Institute guidelines for high-visibility safety apparel and the guidelines of the American Society for Testing and Materials for flame resistant textiles.
