Physical-mechanical properties of thermal protective fabric subjected to textile care

Development of protective textiles has been identified as a key market segment due to its exceptional innovations, answering broader strategic, social, ecological and economic challenges and general benefit [1-3]. In this paper, the most relevant physical-mechanical properties of thermal protective woven fabrics, made from meta-aramide yarns, after subjection to textile care, are investigated. One of the main importance in care is that washing has minimal negative impact on the protective fabrics properties. Negative influence of washing on woven fabrics physical and mechanical properties are decrease of breaking properties, increase of surface roughness, decrease of properties gained by surface treatments [4-8]. Therefore, this paper will explore the influence of washing on the physical-mechanical properties of thermal protective woven fabrics. This research is related to the objectives of the scientific project MF-WCOMPROTECT which is based on development of innovative multifunctional woven fabrics and composites for thermal protective clothing that will overcome the properties of the previous fabrics in the application.
