Abstract: A light reflective material is manufactured using a novel transfer process to provide a final product comprised of a metal substrate, an adhesive on the substrate, a light reflective metal layer (e.g. silver) on the adhesive and a thin (e.g. 0.05 to 0.2 mil) lacquer protective coating on the light reflective metal layer. In a preferred embodiment, an additional lacquer protective coating is used to sandwich the light reflective metal layer between two layers of lacquer coating.

Abstract: A microwave heating material and method of forming thereof is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a pre-selected metallized pattern is disposed on at least a portion of a dielectric material using a transfer process, preferably a hot stamping transfer process in conjunction with very thin metal, preferably aluminum roll leaf. The roll leaf can be easily hot-stamped in any variety of patterns such as dots, spirals, circles or any other desired pattern onto disposable or reuseable trays, flexible wraps, rigid substrates or any other suitable dielectric material. Such a transfer process is relatively inexpensive both in terms of labor and other costs.

Abstract: An improved drapery fabric, constructed of an open weave decorative fabric adhesively-bonded by a flexible inner bonding stratum to a flexible solar control film. The solar control film permits visible light transmission through the open weave decorative fabric and reduces heat loss, or gain, by reducing the flow of heat and air therethrough. In addition, the improved open weave drapery fabric reduces heat loss during winter months through the combined effects of reflective and barrier characteristics, as well as the stagnant air space created between the window glass and the improved drape.
