Conventional and high performance fibre blends for protective clothing

4 Conventional and high performance fibre blends for protective clothing 

High performance fibres are usually mixed or interwoven in the fabrics, or used as layered fabric structures so as to have a combination of multiple protection functions in protective clothing. Most of those high performance fibres, except those converted from natural fibre sources, are stiff and do not have moisture management properties, and some of them have poor durability therefore, the fabrics made from them are frequently used together
