  • Treated inherently flame resistant polyester fabrics
    Patent number: 6759127
    Abstract: A textile article having flame resistant properties includes a plurality of inherently flame resistant polyester fibers formed into a fabric, and a finish on the fabric including a cyclic phosphonate flame retardant. The finish imparts a property selected from the group consisting of: a molecularly bound antimicrobial agent which is an organosilane, a fluorochemical soil and fluid repellant, and the finished textile article has a flame resistance that passes the standard method NFPA 701-1996 edition testing protocol.

  • Lightweight metalized fabric
    Patent number: 5271998
    Abstract: A fabric suitable for an automobile cover includes a metalized fabric having a finish coating including an emulsion of urethane polymers, acrylic polymers and a fluorocarbon. The finish coating may also include an antimicrobial agent, a surfactant and a catalyst. Such a fabric can be manufactured by vacuum metalizing a fabric with aluminum, applying a finishing solution of urethane, acrylic, fluorocarbon emulsion, drying the fabric at a temperature between 320.degree. F. and 400.degree. F., and calendering the fabric.
