Abstract: A textile sleeve for protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes both monofilament and multifilament yarns woven in both warp and fill directions. The warp yarns are woven in a warp-faced pattern with the fill yarns. As such, the warp yarns float over 2 or more of fill yarns. The warp monofilaments provide the sleeve with increased abrasion resistance, while the warp multifilaments provide the sleeve with increased flexibility and coverage protection to protect elongate members within a cavity of the sleeve. The fill monofilaments provide the sleeve with increased abrasion resistance and the fill multifilaments provide the sleeve with increased flexibility and coverage protection. The method includes weaving the warp and fill yarns in one of an open or closed wall construction. The method can include heat-setting the monofilament fill yarns to bias the open wall into a self-closing tubular configuration.

Abstract: A tubular textile heat shield for providing protection against radiant heat to elongate members shielded by the heat shield, and method of construction thereof, is provided. The tubular textile heat shield includes a tubular wall of interlaced yarn. The interlaced yarn includes polymeric monofilament yarns interlaced with one another. The polymeric monofilament yams contain reflective aluminum particles interspersed therein, as extruded in the yams, wherein the aluminum particles provide a reflective outer surface to the tubular wall and increase the radiant heat resistance of the yarn.

Abstract: A textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes an elongate wall having opposite edges extending parallel to a central axis of the sleeve. The wall is woven with warp yams extending parallel to the axis and fill yarns extending transverse to the warp yams. The warp yarns are provided as monofilament yarns to provide abrasion resistance and the fill yams are provided as both monofilament yams to provide further abrasion resistance and multifilament yams to provide increased coverage, maintain flexibility, and to maintain the warp monofilaments in their intended position.
