Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a heat resistant spacer fabric comprising a first and second fabric layers that are formed of a flame resistant material arranged in opposing face-to-face relation and are spaced apart from each other. The first and second fabric layers are interconnected to each other with one or more spacer fibers that interconnect the first and second fabric layers and define a space therebetween. The spacer fibers comprise at least one core fiber having one or more wrap fibers of a flame resistant material wrapped thereabout. The wrap fibers protect the core fibers from direct contact with heat and flame. If the spacer fabric is exposed to heat/flame, the flame resistant wrap fibers help to prevent any melted material of the core fibers from flowing out of the spacer fabric. The spacer fabric can be used in protective garments such as coats, gloves, pants, cover-alls, suits, etc.
