Technical fibers and yarns made with partially aromatic polyamides and non-halogen flame retardant additives are disclosed. Fabrics made with this fiber and yarn show superior flame retardancy over conventional flame retardant nylon 6,6 fabrics. Furthermore, the disclosed fibers and yarns do not exhibit the dangerous "scaffold effect" common to flame retardant nylon 6,6 blend fabrics when blended with other flame retardant fibers. |
