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 yarns extending parallel to the axis and fill yarns extending transverse to the warp yarns. The warp yarns include monofilament yarns within an intermediate region of the wall and multifilament yarns within opposite edge regions of the wall to enhance abrasion resistance and curl, respectively, and the fill yarns include monofilament yarns larger in diameter than the fill monofilament yarns to provide further abrasion resistance, enhanced curl strength and multifilament yarns to provide increased coverage, maintain flexibility, and to maintain the warp monofilaments in their intended position.

Abstract: A thermally insulative, reflective convoluted sleeve and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a resilient inner layer, an outer layer and a resilient intermediate layer sandwiched between the inner and outer layers. The inner layer has an inner surface exposed to an inner cavity of the sleeve and the outer layer has an outer reflective surface exposed to the surrounding environment. The intermediate layer is an impervious sheet material and is sandwiched in abutment with the inner and outer layers. The inner, outer and intermediate layers are convoluted to provide the sleeve with enhanced thermal protection properties and flexibility.

Abstract: A nonwoven, fire retardant, moisture resistant panel and method of construction thereof is provided. The panel includes a bonded nonwoven sheet of bast fibers bonded with polymeric binding fibers. Further, the panel includes a single coating of a dried and cured solution. The dried and cured coating includes a binder, a Ph stabilizer and a single flame retardant.
