  • Electromagnetic wave reflective fabric
    Patent number: 5840383
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a fabric capable of reflecting electromagnetic waves. The fabric contains metal-coated (preferably aluminum) glass fibers bonded together with sheath-core binder fibers. The glass fibers are typically less than 11/4 inches long and the binder fibers are originally approximately 2 inches long. The glass and binder fibers are thoroughly mixed and spread across a flat surface, such as a conveyor, prior to heating. After heating, the mixture is compressed to form the reflective fabric.
