57 ABSTRACT A flame-resistant and toxic chemical-agent protective clothing fabric woven of aromatic polyamide yarns and carbon yarns having at least 12 mg of carbon yarn per square centimeter of fabric, said carbon yarns having a carbon tetrachloride vapor sorption capacity of at least 15 percent by weight.
10 Claims, No Drawings PROTECTIVE CLOTHING FABRIC The invention described herein may be manufactured, used and licensed by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment to us of any royalty thereon.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION This invention is concerned with woven textile fabrics to be used in the fabrication of protective clothing to shield the wearer thereof from certain toxic organic gases or vapors.
Individuals exposed to toxic gases and liquids have, heretofore, protected their bodies by donning certain protective garments which are impermeable" to both gases and liquids. Clothing that is completely impermeable to gases can be worn for only short periods of time without discomfort or fatigue due to the retention of body heat and moisture within the air space defined by the garment. The buildup of body heat and moisture within the garment results, at a minimum, in discomfort and under certain circumstances can result in excessive and debilitating thermal stress to the individual. Consequently, impermeable garments may only be worn for extremely brief periods of time, a serious drawback, or must be combined with auxiliary ventilating equipment which limits mobility and creates additional logistical and physical burdens. Other forms of protection employed include outer-garments of foam impregnated with activated carbon and clothing liners of woven fabric impregnated with chloramide materials and chlorinated paraffin. These forms of protection have proven' to be unsatisfactory because of the physiological stress that they impose on the wearer by virtue of their bulk, weight or insulative properties. Considerable research, however, has been directed toward the development of to yarns comprised of fibers having a carbon content of from 50 up to 99+ percent. For purposes of this invention, it is required that the carbon yarns have a carbon tetrachloride sorption capacity of at least percent by weight. The extent of vapor sorptioncapacity or degree of activation of the carbon material has a finite upper limit which is governed in part by the nature of the carbon precusor as well as the activation conditions or procedures, which are well known to those skilled in the art. Carbon yarns having any significant vapor sorption capacity are known to have extremely poor tensile or breaking strength properties (typically less than 1 gm denier) as well as poor abrasion resistance and poor flexing properties, all of which make such yarns unsuitable for use in clothing applications. Descriptions of suitable carbon yarns and methods of manufacture are found in US. Pat. No. 3,235,323 .to E. N. Peters; US. Pat. No. 3,484,183 to A. D. Dickson and E. N. Pe-
ters and U.S. Pat. No. 3,556,712 to Yoneshige, et al. 2
Examples of commercially available yarns meeting the requirements of this invention are Pluton B1 and Pluton PX563, both products of 3M Company.
Aromatic polyamides are polymers which exhibit an unusually high degree of stability when exposed to elevated temperatures. High melting points or lack of a melt point before thermal degradation are characteristics of the aromatic polyamides. These polymers are highly resistant to flaming and are extinguished once an air-permeable material that can be worn with comfort and at the same time detoxify or attenuate the ef fects of toxic gases or liquids in the environment. Until the present invention, there has been no practical permeable sorptive woven clothing fabric that could be .worn with comfort and could actually protect the wearer from all toxic gas agents present in the environment.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to woven textile fabrics useful in fabricating permeable, flame-resistant, toxic chemical-agent protective clothing. The fabric is woven from aromatic polyamide yarns and carbon yarns having a carbon tetrachloride vapor sorption capacity of at least 15 percent by weight. The carbonyarns are uniformly distributed throughout the fabric in an amount sufficient to provide at least 12 milligrams of carbon yarn for each square centimeter of fabric.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS the flame source is removed. Typically, these polymers are formed by copolymerizing aromatic diamines with dicarboxylic acids, e.g., metaphenylenediamine with isophthalic acid. Nomex, a product of E. I. DuPont deNemours and Co., is but one example of a commercially available aromatic polyamide yar'n.
The woven fabrics of this invention have aromatic polyamide yarns in the filling and warp directions with carbon yarns also woven in either or both directions. The strength of the fabric in the warp and fill directions is at least lbs perinch as measured by Method 5102 of the Federal Test Method Standard l9l. To be effective, the carbon yarn must be substantially uniformly distributed through the woven fabric, i.e., a component of either or both the filling and warp yarns. It is essential, for the purposes of this invention, that there be at least 12 mg of the above defined carbon yarn in each square centimeter of woven fabric. The fabric should also be woven so as to have an air permeability of at least 50 cubic feet/minute/square foot of fabric.
Clothing or garments constructed with the fabric of this invention provide a high degree of protection against the passage of toxic, organic gases. Toxic, or-
ganic chemical gases, or liquids which readily volatize to produce such gases, are selectively adsorbed by the carbon yarns of the fabric and thus prevented from passing through the fabric to the body of the wearer. For example, vesicant military gases, such as mustard or lewisite, which are capable of producing painful and incapacitating blisters when allowed to contact the skin, can be efiectively held back by preferential adsorption in the carbon yarns of the clothing fabric of this invention. The expression toxic chemical agentprotective fabric, refers to fabric which can absorb relatively large quantities of toxic organic gases. A satisfactory sorptivity in this context is 95.5 micrograms of mustard sorbed out of a total of micrograms. While effective in retaining or absorbing toxic chemical gases, the same garment, by virtue of its high air-permeability (over 50 cubic feet per minute per square foot) and reduced thickness may be worn with reduced physical stress being placed on the wearer. In addition to the foregoing desirable properties, this fabric exhibits a high degree-of flame resistance due to the unique combination of properties of the 2 yarn components. Flame resistance refers to the ability of the fabric to self extinguish when the flame source is withdrawn.
EXAMPLE 1 A fabric according to the invention is constructed by waving Pluton PX 563 yarn with Nomex yarn. The Pluton carbon yarn has a surface area of 240 square meters per gram, a strength of 2.8 lbs per yarn, denier (g per 9,000 meters) of 1152, and a twist having 2.8 turns per inch. The Nomex yarns are 3 ply (200 denier) and 2 ply 200 denier). A plain weave fabric was constructed having the 3 ply Nomex in the warp and the 2 ply Nomex and the carbon yarn woven together in the fill direction. The resulting fabric had a yarn count of 34 ends per inch and 34 picks per inch, a thickness of 26-27 mils, a weightof 10.5 ounces per square yarn, air-permeability (Federal Test Method Standard 191, Method 5450) of 82 cubic feet per minute per square foot and strength (Federal Test Method Standard 191, Method 5102) in the warp of 150 lbs per inch of sample and in the fill of 92 lbs per inch of sample. The flame resistance of the fabric, as determined by the Federal Test Method Standard 191, Method 5902, was as follows:
Warp, after flame, seconds Warp, after glow, seconds 7 Warp, char length, inches 0 Fill, after flame, seconds 0 Fill, after glow, seconds 4 Fill, char length, inches 1.4
ter resulted in less than 5 micrograms penetration per centimeter of square fabric. These results indicate a high levelof protection against mustard vapor.
