A textile sleeve (10) constructed in accordance with one aspect of the invention provides fire protection to an oil or fuel fluid conveying conduit and meets the AS 1055 Class A protection requirements at a zero flow rate and the AS 1055 Class B protection requirements at a zero flow rate. The textile sleeve includes a single tubular textile wall (14) formed from at least one of the group consisting of basalt, silica, ceramic and fiberglass yarn. The wall has an outer surface (18) and an inner surface (20) bounding a cavity (22) sized for receipt of the fluid conveying conduit (12). A coating of silicone rubber is adhered to the outer surface of the wall, and a flame retardant additive is mixed with the silicone rubber to form a coating composition. The flame retardant additive is selected from the group consisting of at least one of zinc borate, magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. |
