Abstract

A textile sleeve for protecting an elongated member comprises a tubular body, made from a woven or braided fiberglass yarn, having an inner surface and an outer surface. A coating adheres to the outer surface providing heat resistance to said tubular body. The coating is a silicone rubber containing phenyl partially disposed therein. According to one aspect, the silicone rubber is a phenyl containing polysiloxane. According to another aspect, the silicone rubber has a formula of R—SiO 3/2 wherein R includes phenyl and oxygen or R consists of phenyl and oxygen. The tubular body has a heat resistance of at least 550° C. A method of making the textile sleeve is also disclosed herein.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flexible textile sleeve for protecting an elongated member, the textile sleeve comprising:
a flexible tubular body having an inner surface and an outer surface;
a cured coating adhered to said outer surface, said cured coating providing heat resistance to said tubular body; and
said cured coating being formed from a coating of siloxane having a formula of R—SiO 3/2 with the R consisting of phenyl functional groups, methyl functional groups, and oxygen, wherein upon curing said coating, said methyl functional groups are decomposed, thereby leaving the cured coating devoid of methyl functional groups and consisting of SiO 2 containing phenyl, and leaving the tubular body flexible.

2. The flexible textile sleeve according to claim 1 wherein said tubular body is made from a woven or braided fiberglass yarn.

3. The flexible textile sleeve according to claim 1 wherein said tubular body has a heat resistance of at least 550° C.
