Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical and comfort properties of fabrics for the development of fire-retardant work clothes. Specimens used in this study included six fire-retardant and welding work clothes and one fire-retardant fabric. Although all samples were made of cotton, samples A, B, and C had fire-retardant textile certifications. In addition, sample G was a fire-retardant fabric with conductive threads. The mechanical properties of all specimens were measured using the Kawabata evaluation system for fabrics (KES-FB). Results showed that A, B, C, and G had low values, in terms of tensile properties, of tensile energy (WT), but excellent shearing and bending properties. Thick cotton working clothes were observed to have high shearing prepertics, and as to surface properties, twill fabrics were found to have smoother texture. For the comfort properties of fabrics, A, B, C and G had high $Q_{max}$ and thermal conductance values, therefore they were better in terms of cool touch. However, they were found to have low air permeability.
