Abstract
A fabric suitable for use as a flame barrier fabric comprising a flame durable textile fabric substrate, a flexible silicone polymer layer which stays intact, maintains its integrity on exposure to a flame and is carried by the surface of the textile fabric substrate, and a reflective flame durable paint coating carried by the silicone polymer coating.
Claims25
A fire-resistant fabric suitable for use as a flame barrier comprising a flame durable textile fabric substrate, a flexible silicone polymer layer which stays intact and maintains its integrity on exposure to a flame and which is carried by the surface of the textile fabric substrate, and a reflective flame durable paint coating carried by said silicone polymer layer.
A fire-resistant fabric suitable for use as a flame barrier comprising a flame durable woven textile fabric substrate formed of interwoven warp and weft yarns, a flexible silicone polymer layer which stays intact, maintains its integrity on exposure to a flame and which is carried by the surface of said warp and weft yarns, substantially filling interstices between said yarns to form a continuous barrier, and a reflective metallic paint coating carried by said silicone polymer layer.
A fire-resistant fabric suitable for use as a flame barrier comprising a flame durable knitted textile fabric substrate formed of intermeshed loops of yarn, a flexible polymer layer of polydimethylsiloxane or arenebased silicones carried by the surface of said loops of yarns and substantially filling interstices between said loops of yarns to form a continuous barrier, and a reflective metallic paint coating carried by said silicone polymer layer, the reflective portion thereof facing away from the exposed surface of said fabric substrate.
A fire-resistant laminate comprising a foam layer, a flame barrier fabric overlying said foam layer, said flame barrier fabric comprising a textile fabric substrate formed of integrated textile yarns, a flexible silicone polymer layer which forms a silica crust on exposure to a flame and which is carried by the surface of the textile yarns, a reflective paint coating carried by the silicone polymer coating, and a surface fabric overlying said flame barrier fabric.
