Abstract:
A fabric comprising a metal coating wherein said metal coating comprises discrete metal particles which are encapsulated within a cross-linked polyurethane latex,wherein said discrete metal particles are treated with a primer coating composition comprising the reaction product of a copolymer comprising at least two different monomers,wherein said at least two different monomers are(i) a phosphate-containing vinyl monomer and(ii) a second, separate vinylic monomer containing at least one non-phosphate reactive group which is capable of covalently reacting with the cross-linking agent present within the polyurethane latex coating;wherein said primer coating metal particles are contacted with said primer coating prior to or during contact with said polyurethane latex; andwherein said latex comprises a cross-linking agent and optionally a catalyst to initiate the crosslinking of said polyurethane dispersion and of said primer coating composition.
