Flame resistant, self-wrapping textile sleeve and method of construction thereof

Abstract

A flame resistant, wrappable textile sleeve for providing thermal protection to an elongate member contained therein includes an inner wall of interlaced yarn including heat-resistant yarn. The inner wall has opposite inner edges extending lengthwise in generally parallel relation with a longitudinal axis between opposite inner ends with an outer surface and an inner surface bounded by the inner edges and the inner ends. An outer wall has an inner surface and an outer surface bounded by opposite outer edges extending lengthwise in generally parallel relation with the longitudinal axis between opposite outer ends. The inner surface of the outer wall is fixed to the outer surface of the inner wall. One of the outer edges of the outer wall extends beyond one of the inner edges of the inner wall to provide a flap having adhesive layer for selective adhesion to the outer surface of the outer wall.
