  • Method of improving washfastness of metallized fabric
    Patent number: 6511929
    Abstract: This invention relates to metallized, particularly aluminized, fabrics which are coated with specific polyurethane finishes. Such specific polyurethanes must be cross-linked and present in latex form. Upon impregnation within metal-coated fabrics, these particular polyurethanes provide vastly improved washfastness properties to the fabrics and thus ensure the retention of substantially all the metal coating within and on the target fabric.
    Type: Grant
