Vapor permeable fabric constructs with static or dynamic antimicrobial compositions

摘要

Protective, multi-layered, breathable fabric constructs having dynamic or static antimicrobial compositions incorporated into adhesive components. The flexible constructs employ a fabric layer and a breathable coating layer applied to the fabric. Under certain preferred embodiments, the fabric constructs also employ an energy dissipating fiber material disposed opposite the coating layer. Also, the present invention teaches a method of protecting a valuable or sensitive object from damage caused by corrosion, weather, biomass, or other environmental related conditions using the fabric material. The fabric constructs may be post-formed using heat or other methods to create shaped-to-form covers.

主权项

1. A fabric construct comprising:
a porous fabric layer; an adhesive layer applied to said fabric layer including an adhesive comprising an antimicrobial compound chemically bonded to a vapor corrosion inhibitor; a fiber layer applied to the adhesive layer; and a waterproof, moisture vapor permeable polymeric composition comprising a cross-linked polyurethane coating applied to and embedded in the porous fabric on the side opposite the fiber layer without an adhesive binding said composition coating to said porous fabric;wherein the fiber layer comprises flocked fibers or a non-woven fabric.
