Abstract

An improved fire resistant textile product that includes a substrate base layer. The substrate base layer may comprise a needle punched, nonwoven substrate formed from a synthetic material such as a polyetherimide fiber. A first coating is applied to the substrate. The first coating may comprise a mixture including: about 1-65 wt. % aluminum trihydroxide; about 1-33 wt. % polyurethane polymer; and about 1-11 wt. % H2O. An effective amount of pigment may be added to the above composition to produce a desired color. The first coating may be applied in two steps with a first rolling application followed by a spraying application to provide a coated substrate. Finally, a clear top coat may be added to the coated substrate. The finished textile product may have a maximum acceptable two minutes total heat release (HR) of 65 KW min/m2 and a peak heat release of 65 KW/m2.
