ELASTOMERIC METALLIZED FABRIC AND PROCESS TO MAKE THE SAME

摘要

37 Disclosed is an elastomeric metallized fabric composed of an elastomeric fabric and a metallic coating substantially covering at least a portion of at least one side of the fabric. The elastomeric fabric may be an elastomeric knit fabric, an elastomeric woven fabric, an elastomeric nonwoven fibrous web, or laminates of one or more of the same. The elastomeric metallized fabric has a metallic coating with a thickness ranging from about 1 nanometer to about 5 microns and which remains on the fabric when the fabric is stretched at least about 25 percent. The elastomeric metallized fabric may be joined with other materials to form multi-layer laminates. Also disclosed is a process of making an elastomeric metallized fabric.
