IMPROVED HEAT INSULATING MATERIAL

摘要

A heat-insulating material comprises a resiliently flexible washable textile material and a heat-reflective foil. The heat-reflective foil may comprise a very thin layer of aluminium foil coated on both sides with a polyester and/or polyethylene film or a polyester film having an aluminium coating applied to both sides and which is adhered to the textile material by means of a washable flexible adhesive e.g. polyurethane which may be in the form of a foam. The insulating material may be formed conveniently into articles selected from the following;- indoor and outdoor clothing; footwear and linings for footwear; sleeping bags and linings and covers for sleeping bags; tents and groundsheets for tents; and hypothermia prevention blankets and other medical blankets and clothing.
