“…In one of them, seven fabrics corresponding to different fiber blends used in fire-protective clothing were subjected to up to 50 washing and drying cycles per the NFPA 1971 washing/ drying sample preparation procedure. 55 The authors reported a reduction of up to 66% in the tear strength of the fabrics after 50 washing and drying cycles. This decrease in the fabrics' tear strength varied with their fiber content.…”

“…54 In comparison with para-aramid fibers, meta-aramid fibers are less prone to hydrolysis. 55 The flexible structure of the meta-aramid molecule allows a closer packing that restricts the penetration of water molecules in its fine structure. 65 Metaaramid-dominated fire-protective fabrics have also been found to resist well to repeated launderings.…”

“…Even though the thermal protection performance did not differ significantly from that of the control sample, the SEM photographs clearly demonstrated surface damage. 24 Other factors, such as weathering, 25 laundering, 26 hot laundering, 27 dry cleaning, 28 and abrasion 29 were also found to affect the durability of FPC.…”
