Abstract
Flame retardant textile structures which may be used alone or in combination with one or more covering layer to impart enhanced flame resistance in a wide array of applications. In particular, the textile structure incorporates a wool-based felt which contains about 60% by weight or greater of a mammal generated wool material.
Claims18
A flame retardant textile article selected from the group consisting of furniture upholstery, window blinds, mattress coverings, modular panels, appliance seals;
- appliance insulation;
- clothing;
- automotive upholstery;
- automotive head linings;
- automotive interior side panel coverings and automotive trunk linings, wherein the flame retardant textile article comprises at least one layer of wool-based felt comprising about 60% to 100% by weight mammal generated wool, and wherein the flame retardant textile is characterized by a level of flame resistance such that it passes at least one of the British Standard 5852 crib 5, Technical Bulletin 117 or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 flammability tests.
2 more elements
A flame retardant textile composite structure comprising:
- a decorative surface fabric;
- at least one layer of wool-based felt comprising about 60% to 100% by weight mammal generated wool fiber;
- and
- a layer of resilient heat activated polymeric adhesive disposed between the decorative surface fabric and the layer of wool based felt, wherein the flame retardant textile composite is characterized by a level of flame resistance such that it passes at least one of the British Standard 5852 crib 5, Technical Bulletin 117 or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 flammability tests.
1 more element
A flame retardant textile composite structure comprising:
- at least one layer of wool-based felt comprising about 60% to 100% by weight mammal generated wool fiber disposed between two exterior surface layers of textile material;
- and
- bonding layers of resilient heat activated polymeric adhesive disposed in bonding relation between the wool-based felt and the exterior surface layers, wherein the flame retardant textile composite is characterized by a level of flame resistance such that it passes at least one of the British Standard 5852 crib 5, Technical Bulletin 117 or Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 302 flammability tests.
