a new trim material is disclosed comprising a fire resistant fabric having a weight of at least about 85 g / m 2 and characterized by : a fluorescent coating ; a flexible , drapable , stretchable , retroreflective sheeting covering a portion of the fluorescent coating of part ; the combined thickness of the fluorescent coating and any flammable part of the retroreflective sheeting being about 5 to 60 % of the thickness of the fire resistant fabric . this trim material is useful for such articles such as firemen &# 39 ; s coats in that it meets most of the same requirements for flame retardance as are applied to the outer shell material itself . specifically , it retains its reflectivity in a laboratory oven test at 260 ° c . for five minutes and retains the color of the fluorescent portion at 204 ° c . in a laboratory oven for five minutes . the fabric properties of strength , fire retardancy , and resistance to heat are preserved in the composite trim material .
