Abstract

A fire resistant fabric material comprising a substrate having an ionic charge which is coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge. The coating consists essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material. The substrate is preferably fiberglass, the filler material may further comprise at least one additional filler selected from the group consisting of decabromodiphenyloxide, antimony trioxide, fly ash, charged calcium carbonate, mica, glass microspheres and ceramic microspheres and mixtures thereof and the binder material is preferably acrylic latex.

Claims (15)

1. A fire resistant mattress fabric comprising a decorative fabric and a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge wherein said coating consists essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material and wherein said binder material bonds the filler material together and to the substrate and wherein said coating does not bleed through said substrate, and wherein said fire resistant fabric material is drapable and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.

2. A fire resistant mattress fabric comprising a decorative fabric and a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate coated with a coating consisting essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material wherein

a) said substrate comprises glass fibers and wherein said material is from 65% to 90% by weight of the glass fibers;

b) said coating is from 20% to 80% wet weight of filler and from 80% to 20% wet weight of acrylic latex binder material; and

c) wherein said fire resistant fabric material is drapable and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.

3. A mattress comprising a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge wherein said coating consists essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material and wherein said binder material bonds the filler material together and to the substrate and wherein said coating does not bleed through said substrate, and wherein said fire resistant fabric material is a drapable fabric and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.

4. A mattress comprising a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate coated with a coating consisting essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material wherein

a) said substrate comprises glass fibers and wherein said material is from 65% to 90% by weight of the glass fibers;

b) said coating is from 20% to 80% wet weight of filler and from 80% to 20% wet weight of acrylic latex binder material; and

c) wherein said fire resistant fabric material is a drapable fabric and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.

5. A mattress comprising a fire resistant fabric having a decorative fabric and a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate having an ionic charge coated with a coating having essentially the same ionic charge wherein said coating consists essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material and wherein said binder material bonds the filler material together and to the substrate and wherein said coating does not bleed through said substrate, and wherein said fire resistant fabric material is a drapable fabric and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.

6. A mattress comprising a fire resistant fabric having a decorative fabric and a fire resistant fabric material which comprises a substrate coated with a coating consisting essentially of a filler material comprising clay and a binder material wherein

a) said substrate comprises glass fibers and wherein said material is from 65% to 90% by weight of the glass fibers; and

b) said coating is from 20% to 80% wet weight of filler and from 80% to 20% wet weight of acrylic latex binder material; and

c) wherein said fire resistant fabric material is a drapable fabric and has a porosity of between 5 and 50 cfm.
