Abstract:
A low profile fold protective textile sleeve for bundling elongate members has longitudinally and laterally interlaced monofilament warp and fill yarns. Flat profile monofilaments are employed in the warp direction and round monofilaments in the fill direction. The flat monofilaments are considerably wider than they are thick, and provide the sleeve with flexibility and bending out of the plane of the sleeve. The round monofilaments may be sized so that their diameter is about the same as the thickness of the flat monofilaments, and they can be bundled together so that the effective width of each bundle approximates the width of the flat monofilament yarns with which they are intertwined. The round monofilaments are heat-set along at least a portion of their length to provide biased living hinge regions of the sleeve, while also lending strength and stiffness to the sleeve along the fill direction.
Flame-Retardant Compound And Method Of Forming A Continuous Material Therefrom
A halogen-free flame-retardant compound and method of forming a continuous material therefrom includes compounding poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) with fire-retardant ingredients melamine cyanurate (MC) and melamine polyphosphate (MPP). The compound is then formed into pellets and/or extruded as a thin film or sheet, and also as a filament or yarn, including monofilaments and multifilaments.

Abstract:
A hybrid yarn filament and sleeve constructed therefrom for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD is provided, along with methods of constructing the hybrid yarn filament and sleeves. The hybrid yarn filament has a nonconductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the nonconductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments during construction of the sleeve to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and and/or ESD.
Basalt Continuous Filament Insulating And Fire-Resistant Material And Sleeves And Methods Of Construction Thereof
An fire-retardant insulating material and method of construction thereof has a textile fabric fabricated of continuous basalt filaments. The continuous basalt filaments are preferably texturized or twisted. The insulating material may be arranged in any configuration, such as a sheet, panel or sleeve, and may be knit, woven or braided.
Protective Sleeve Fabricated With Hybrid Yarn Having Wire Filaments And Methods Of Construction
A fabric sleeve and hybrid yarn filament used in construction of the sleeve for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD, and methods of construction of the sleeve and hybrid yarn filament. The sleeve includes at least one interlaced hybrid yarn filament having a non-conductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the non-conductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and/or ESD.
Flame-Retardant Filament And Method Of Manufacture Thereof And Protective Sleeves Constructed Therefrom
A continuous halogen-free flame-retardant filament and method of forming thereof includes providing MC, a phosphorus compound, and PET, and then, forming a mixture of the MC, phosphorus compound, and PET. And lastly, extruding the mixture to form the halogen-free flame-retardant filament. The filament can be braided, woven or knitted into a variety of fabric constructions, such as, for example, sleeves for protecting wires.
Protective Sleeve Fabricated With Hybrid Yarn, Hybrid Yarn, And Methods Of Construction Thereof
A hybrid yarn filament used in construction of a sleeve for protecting elongate members against at least one of EMI, RFI or ESD, and methods of construction of the hybrid yarn filament. The hybrid yarn filament has a non-conductive filament and at least one conductive wire filament overlying an outer surface of the non-conductive filament. The hybrid yarn filament is arranged in electrical communication with itself or other hybrid yarn filaments to provide uniform shielding against EMI, RFI, and/or ESD.

Abstract:
A textile gasket and method of construction thereof for establishing a seal between mating members in a high temperature application is provided. The gasket has a knit, tubular body constructed at least in part of non-metallic, heat-resistant yarns. The body extends between opposite ends with at least one of the ends being rolled toward the other end to form a circumferentially extending rolled portion of a predetermined diameter for receipt between the mating members.
