Example

[0017]Referring in more detail to the drawings, FIG. 1 illustrates a textile insulating material 10 constructed from a plurality of basalt continuous filaments 12 in accordance with one presently preferred embodiment of the invention. The basalt continuous filaments 12 are fire-resistant and can provide thermal protection against extremely high (e.g., 760° C.) and extremely low temperatures (e.g., −260° C.) as well. A fabric sheet, panel, sleeve or other construction fabricated with the interlaced continuous basalt filaments 12 in accordance with the invention is superior to, and may be used to supplement or replace, many insulating and fire-resistant materials in use today. As non-limiting examples, sleeves 14, 15, 16 are shown in FIGS. 2-4, respectively, wherein the sleeves 14, 15, 16 are fabricated at least in part from the basalt continuous filaments 12 and, thus, may be used to insulate pipes exposed to extremely high heat (such as exhaust pipes having temperatures of 500° C. t...

Abstract

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.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60 / 796,395, filed May 1, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to insulating materials, and more particularly to insulating materials and tubular sleeves constructed at least partially from basalt continuous filaments.[0004]2. Related Art[0005]Automotive, aeronautical, rail and marine components positioned in engine compartments or near heat sources such as exhaust manifolds may be subjected to harsh thermal environments. Further, undesired heat transfer may also occur between heat sources such as engines, exhaust systems and / or transmissions and the passenger compartment of an automobile, aircraft, train or boat. Oil and gas exploration and drilling tools also need protection from exposure to heat and spark and fire. It is known in the...
