Polyester, protective clothing

Ozone is being investigated for shrinkage prevention (182). Wool and blends of wool, cotton, and polyester have been finished to provide improved flame-retardant, durable-press, and shrinkage properties (183,184). Fabrics of these types are often used for uniforms or protective clothing (185). 

Use Heating pads (combined with glass fiber), protection clothing, polyester and epoxy composites for jet engine components, spacecraft, compressor blades, airframe structure, electrodes for sparkhardening metals, flame-proof textile products, engineering thermoplastics.

Besides the traditional cotton/polyester muslin gown, other reusable gowns should be tested because the demand for reusable gowns is predicted to increase as employers are required to provide protective clothing for their workers (2). Residues and abrasion from the laundering process are reported to compromise the liquid barrier properties of the gown fabric over time and should be investigated. 

Fibre choices for thermal protective clothing include inherently flame resistant (FR) fibres such as the meta- and para-aramids, polyamide-imide, polybenzimidazole, modacrylic and chemically modified fibres such as viscose and modal, polyester, and nylon, as well as FR treated or finished cotton and wooP"" (see also Chapter 8). The...

Clothing products, which include articles worn by both nursing staff and patients, have no specific requirements other than comfort and durability. In isolation wards and intensive care units, disposable protective clothing is worn to minimize cross infection. A wide range of designs in various types of nonwoven fabric is available as head coverings for male and female staff. These articles are made from composite fabrics that consist of tissue reinforced with a polyester or PP spunlaid web. SMS and wet-laid are the major nonwoven types used in sterilization wrap, laboratory coats, jackets and coveralls. 

In protective clothing, a layer of polyurethane, foam-entrapped, activated charcoal is embedded between several layers of polyester fabric. Polyurethanes are effective substrates for OP adsorption, and reports have documented that polyurethane foam particles can be used as adsorbent materials for pesticide vapors in farming fields. If proteins could be incorporated into polyurethanes, some interesting materials might emerge. 

Most common applications in protective clothing. In some oases, this may represent a film or coating over another substrate such as coated polyester, polyamide, or spun-bonded olefin fabrics.

Kang et al. first used direct electrospinning of PU onto the substrate fabrics (polyester/nylon blended fabric, which contained stainless steel yarn in weft) to prepare the waterproof-breathable fabric. PU was solvent electrospun onto the substrate fabric to develop the waterproof-breathable fabric with lightweight and thermal insulation [22], The reported air permeability and WVT rate were 0.5 cm /cm /sec and 375.80 g/h/m, respectively, for electrospun PU coated fabric, which were far better than the PU coated fabrics. Lee et al. developed electrospun PU layered fabric systems in which nanofibrous web was layered on spunbonded nonwoven to check the possibility of developing protective clothing materials as barriers to liquid diffusion (Fig. 14.2a-c). Layered clothing systems with electrospun... 

Consumption of unsaturated polyesters in the marine industry consists of broad usage for hulls, decks and numerous small parts such as hatch and engine covers. Hulls and decks are generally produced with unsaturated polyester resins and multiple layers of fiberglass cloth knits and chopped fibers. Most marine applications require the use of unsaturated polyester resin gel coats for exterior appearance and for protection from the elements.
