A heat curable, circular knitted fabric includes reinforcing and meltable resin fibers that can be cured to form a more rigid material form. In one embodiment, the fabric includes a core spun yarn, wherein the core may be made from glass, carbon, basalt, aramid or metal. The wrap surrounding the core may include resin type fibers such as Poly(p-phenylene sulfide) PPS, Polyetherimide (PEI), Polyether ether ketone (PEEK), Polysulfone (PES), Polyphthalamide (PPA), nylon, polyester, or polypropylene. |

1. An insulated exhaust component, the component comprising:
a hollow tubular member; a rigid, heat resistant, and non-flammable cover positioned around at least a portion of the hollow tubular member, wherein the cover comprises:
a composite textile knitted sleeve formed from core spun yarn, wherein said core spun yarn includes a core made from a first material and a meltable wrap disposed about said core, wherein at least a first portion of said meltable wrap is made from a second material, wherein said second material has a melting point of at least 250° F.; andsleeve reinforcing fibers knitted together with the core spun yarn to form the knitted sleeve; andwherein the cover is formed by heating the knitted sleeve placed around the component to cause the meltable wrap to at least partially melt around the hollow tubular member. |
