Abstract
A method of producing a flame resistant ticking includes laminating a flame resistant substrate to a decorative fabric, wherein the substrate is configured to release a chemical vapor that reduces the rate of propagation of a flame along the decorative fabric when the decorative fabric is exposed to flame. The substrate is laminated in direct contact with the inside surface of the decorative fabric. In some embodiments, the laminated ticking is configured to release less than 15 MJ of heat in the first ten minutes when exposed to a flame in accordance with the testing protocol set forth in 16 CFR 1633. Upholstered articles, such as mattresses, mattress foundations, and articles of furniture, may incorporate the flame resistant ticking layer.
