Abstract:
A sheath-core yarn and methods of preparing it are disclosed. A sheath of aramid fibers surrounds a continuous filament core composed of an amorphous silica product containing at least 96% silica and having the thermal performance of a refractory material. The yarn is useful in woven or knitted safety garments which must provide protection under such severe conditions as splattering molten steel.
