Abstract
A breathable fire barrier fabric comprising a fiber glass fabric on which is coated an encapsulating coating that minimizes or eliminates fiber to fiber self abrasion and effectively adheres to the glass fabric even when subjected to heat and flames; said fire barrier fabric having a porosity value at an acceptable level such that the fire barrier fabric inhibits the spread of fire. The invention contemplates a coating and method of applying same for glass fiber fabrics that can mechanically protect the glass from self-destruction without contributing to the fuel value of the fabric while maintaining a breathable fabric.
