Summary:Lightweight fabrics with a balance of high thermal properties, especially arc resistance and flash fire resistance, on the one hand, and durability and comfort properties, on the other hand, are disclosed. Articles, such as garments and linen, made from the lightweight fabrics are also disclosed. Spun yarns made with an intimate blend of fibers including flame resistant fiber, fire-resistant hydrophilic fibers, and a low level of anti-static fibers are described. The lightweight fabrics are particularly useful in garments for utility workers, industrial workers, military personnel, and firefighters. L'invention concerne des tissus légers avec un équilibre d'excellentes propriétés thermiques, en particulier la résistance aux arcs et la résistance aux embrasements éclairs d'un côté, et des propriétés de durabilité et de confort, d'un autre côté. L'invention concerne aussi des articles, tels que des vêtements et du linge, fabriqués à partir des tissus légers. L'invention concerne des fils tissés fabriqués à partir d'un mélange intime de fibres comprenant des fibres ininflammables, des fibres hydrophiles ininflammables et une faible quantité de fibres antistatiques. Les tissus légers sont particulièrement utiles dans des vêtements pour les ouvriers des services publics, les ouvriers industriels, le personnel militaire, et les pompiers.
