A composite material comprising a substrate and a barrier layer applied to the substrate

摘要

The invention relates to a composite material and a process for manufacturing the composite material by applying at least a single organic barrier layer to a substrate. Depending on the intended application, the composite material may also include an outer cover layer over the barrier layer to improve moisture resistance. The preferred materials are triazines, particularly melamine, that are vapour-deposited onto the substrate to form a thin, durable, barrier layer. The layer may be transparent.
