Insect repellant fabrics which also have flame retardant properties are disclosed. The fabrics have insect repellant molecules absorbed in the fibers of the fabrics. The fabrics retain their insect repellant and flame retardant properties after laundering. The fabrics are suitable for use in clothing and, more particularly, are suitable for use in protective garments designed to be worn by individuals, such as industrial workers, military and rescue personnel, and firefighters, who may be at risk of exposure to both fire and disease carrying insects. The insect repellant molecules may be incorporated into the fabrics in a variety of ways including, but not limited to, immersing the fibers or fabrics in a bath containing an insect repellant and heating the bath.

L'invention concerne des tissus insectifuges possédant également des propriétés ignifuges. Ces tissus comprennent des molécules insectifuges absorbées dans les fibres des tissus. Les tissus retiennent leurs propriétés insectifuges et ignifuges après le lavage. Les tissus peuvent être utilisés pour la fabrication de vêtements et, plus particulièrement, de vêtements de protection destinés à être portés par des individus, tels que des travailleurs industriels, des militaires et du personnel de sauvetage, ainsi que des pompiers, pouvant être exposés à la fois au feu et à des insectes porteurs de maladies. Les molécules insectifuges peuvent être incorporées dans les tissus de différentes manières, y compris, mais sans en exclure d'autres, par immersion des fibres ou des tissus dans un bain contenant un insectifuge et chauffage du bain.
