Claim 0:
1. A method for producing a composite insulation system, the method comprising:
providing a braided tape;
wrapping the braided tape around an exhaust component so that the braided tape conforms to the exhaust component;
wrapping and tucking ends of the braided tape into adjacent wraps of the braided tape;
positioning a self-molding fiber cover comprising an elastic structure over the braided tape to provide compression around the exhaust component;
providing a composite matrix solution comprising a dispersion of ground thermoplastic polymer in an organic or non-organic solvent;
applying the composite matrix solution to at least a portion of the braided tape and the self-molding fiber cover such that the composite matrix solution permeates the braided tape and the self-molding fiber cover; and
heat-curing the composite matrix solution to thereby mechanically and chemically bond the braided tape and the self-molding fiber cover to form the composite insulation system.
