Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to coated fiberglass fabrics especially suitable for use as mattress tickings. The fabrics comprise a woven or non-woven fiberglass fabric to which a layer of a polymeric coating composition has been applied. The coating comprises a polymeric carrier containing an effective amount of a fungicide and/or bacteriocide, an effective amount of a flame retardant, and a filler which also functions to enhance the flame retardant properties of the fabric.
