Flexible, arc resistant, fluid repellant, high temperature and abrasion resistant, circumferentially continuous, seamless textile sleeve and method of construction thereof

A method of constructing a textile sleeve for routing and protecting an elongate member against arcing, exposure to high temperatures and fire, abrasion, and fluid ingress, comprising:

• interlacing heat-resistant yarn to form a textile layer having an outer surface and an inner surface bounding a cavity extending lengthwise along a central longitudinal axis between opposite open ends;
• and
• bonding a silicone-based coating on the outer surface of the textile layer such that the silicone-based coating is circumferentially continuous and seamless along the length of the textile layer.

The method of claim 17, further including weaving the yams including warp yams extending generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis entirely from multifilaments resistant to heat and weft yarns extending generally transversely to the warp yarns including monofilaments.
