Abstract
This invention pertains to a layered sheet comprising a flame resistant wet-laid nonwoven carrier having a first and second surface and an inorganic refractory layer adjacent to at least one surface of the carrier wherein the refractory layer has a dry area weight of from 15 to 50 gsm, the bond strength between the refractory layer and the surface of the carrier is at least 0.25 lb/in, wherein the carrier comprises from 40 to 70 weight percent of aramid fibers and from 30 to 60 weight percent of polymeric binder, is hydrophilic, has a smoothness on at least one surface of no less than 250 Sheffield units, a thickness of from 0.025 to 0.175 mm and a density of from 0.25 to 0.60 g/cc. Preferably the carrier is in the form of a paper.

A layered sheet comprising a nonwoven paper carrier having a first and second surface and an inorganic refractory layer comprising 100 percent platelets of vermiculite adjacent to at least one surface of the nonwoven paper carrier wherein the refractory layer has a dry areal weight of from 15 to 50 gsm, the bond strength between the refractory layer and the surface of the nonwoven paper carrier is no less than 0.25 lb./in, and wherein the nonwoven paper carrier
- (i) comprises from 40 to 70 weight percent of aramid fibers and from 30 to
- 60 weight percent of polymeric binder,
- (ii) is hydrophilic
