Fabric provides smoke barrier

A flame-retardant, reinforced silicone-coated fabric from Furon Co. (www.furon.com) provides a smoke and vapor barrier for cargo planes and other applications in which flame or smoke protection is needed. CHR 4132 is self-extinguishing and meets the flammability requirements of FAR 25.853a. It is composed of plain weave fiberglass coated evenly on both sides with flame-retardant silicone rubber. The finished fabric is 0.032 in. thick, providing a greater margin of safety than many other flame-retardant fabrics. The material is flexible and compressible, and remains pliant across a temperature range of -100 °F to +400 °F.
