A firefighter garment including melamine high-heat and flame resistant fibers that have been stock dyed to obtain a desired shade or color. The stock dyed fiber is preferably blended with another fiber and the blend spun, by ring or core spinning, into a yarn for use in a protective fabric. Fabric produced by employing a blend of stock dyed melamine fibers and other high temperature fibers offers numerous cost and performance advantages. The elimination of the damage associated with the piece dyeing process allows the fabric to increase its strength and tear characteristics without affecting its thermal performance.

The present invention is directed to a fabric that is particularly well suited for use as the outer shell fabric of the firefighter's garment. The preferred fabric is 40% Melamine formaldehyde (Basofil) and 60% Para-Aramid (Kevlar) woven of spun yarns and core-spun DREF yarns. The core spun yarn includes one or more filament cores selected from a polymer group consisting of PBO, Aramid, Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP), Carbon and P-84, with or without a fine metallic wire co-core, and a staple sheath blend consisting of one or more fibers selected from a group consisting of Meta-Aramid, Para-Aramid, Copolymide, PBI, PBO, P-84, Carbon, Kynol, PFR Rayon and/or Modacrylic fibers.

A non woven fire blocking seat fabric particularly suited for aircraft applications is disclosed. The fabric is a nonwoven, multiplied flame resistant fabric comprised of at least two felted plies, each ply being further comprised of fibers selected from the group consisting of aramid fibers, polybenzimidazole fibers, and phenolic fibers, wherein the combined percentage by weight of said aramid and phenolic fibers is approximately 80% by weight of said felted ply with the aramid fibers being present in the range of about 10% to 60% and the phenolic fibers being present in the range of about 20% to 70%. ; and the plies are united into a single fabric by fibers which are needled from the respective ply into the other ply. In the preferred fabric a stabilized woven scrim is positioned between the plies of the fabric. In the preferred fabric the scrim is of glass material.
