Abstract: Tent material is provided having a resin coating. High UV resistance may be provided using resin coating with titanium dioxide. Colored tent material is provided using a resin coating with a coloring ingredient. Colored tent material having high UV resistance is provided using a resin coating with titanium and a coloring ingredient. Method is provided including laminating coating and fabric. Tent material retains its tensile and tear strength over prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions and after repeated laundering. Tent material is provided having brilliant colors and that can utilize colorless, white or multi-colored fabrics. Tent material provided retains its color and does not peel or flake over prolonged exposure to outdoor conditions.

Abstract: A fabric for tents consisting a gray woven from nylon or polyester filaments and a layer of coating composition including polyurethane, a pigment, an ultraviolet inhibitor, aluminum powders, ceramic powders, a fire retardant agent and a solvent can be protected from a yellowing appearance caused by ultraviolet rays and has a preferable color. The lifetime of the fabric can be extended. And the comparative low cost and short time are necessary for the process for preparing the fabric.

Abstract: A multi-layer composite consisting of a chemical barrier layer of, a flame resistant layer, and a reflective layer. The chemical barrier layer is itself a composite material having multiple substrates selected to minimize permeability.

Abstract: This invention relates to an electrically conductive shaped article made from thermoplastic materials which are reinforced with glass and steel fibers wherein said fibers are incorporated into the thermoplastic material by pultrusion. The amount of glass fibers incorporated into the thermoplastic material is such that the specific conductivity is at least 10% greater than in a shaped article in which the glass fibers are replaced by thermoplastic material. The shaped article can be used for shielding an article from electromagnetic radiation.

Abstract: Disclosed is a veil treated with a resin-affecting compound such as a mold release agent, a UV stabilizer, or a UV absorber for use in fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) parts. Also disclosed is a process for altering the chemical or physical properties of a resin during a production process comprising the steps of: (a) treating a veil with at least one resin-affecting compound, alone or in combination with other resin-affecting compounds; (b) applying the treated veil to a resin; (c) forming an article from said veil and said resin; and (d) curing the article.

Abstract: A barrier fabric composite is provided which comprises:i) a textile fabric comprising a front surface, a back surface, interstices within said fabric, and a determinable interstitial volume;ii) a liquid barrier enhancing thermoplastic within said interstices and on said back surface, filling at least 50% of said interstitial volume; andiii) a liquid barrier enhancing plastic coating, on the back surface of said thermoplastic, having a higher melting point or glass transition temperature (T.sub.g) than said thermoplastic, and capable of withstanding temperatures of at least 350.degree. F.

Abstract: An improved electromagnetic shield for a photodetector which uses a wire mesh screen laminated to an insulating layer. A portion of the wire mesh screen and laminated layer sandwich can then be cut out to provide an individual electromagnetic shield. The sandwich combination is flexible, and can be easily wrapped around the photodetector. Preferably, an adhesive is on one side of the insulating layer, to allow the wrapped combination to adhere to the photodetector.

Abstract: A blackout drapery lining including a first substrate of a textile material having an inner surface and an external surface, the external surface forming a first finished surface of the drapery lining. A first adhesive layer having an opaque pigment is adhered to the first substrate and covers the inner surface of the first substrate to provide a substantially light impermeable barrier for the drapery lining. The drapery lining also includes a second substrate of a textile material having an inner surface and an external surface, the inner surface of the second substrate being adhered to the first adhesive layer and the external surface of the second substrate forms a second finished surface of the drapery lining.

Abstract: A thermal insulation product which effectively blocks the transmission of infrared radiation through the product is provided and includes, in combination, an insulating material and a chiral polymer adapted to block the passage of infrared radiation through the insulating material.
