The present invention also relates to a textile, a fabric and yarn coated with the composition above. The present invention finally relates to uses of 2D carbon microparticles to provide a shiny effect on textiles. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A process of finishing a textile, comprising the step of preparing a composition containing 2D carbon microparticles in a carrier, applying said composition to said textile and drying said textile carrying said composition, wherein said 2D carbon microparticles are carbon microparticles having a thickness in nanometers and have a dimension in which the length of the major axis in the range of 0.1 to 250 microns. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein said 2D carbon microparticles have dimensions in the range of 10 to 225 microns. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein said 2D carbon microparticles are graphite flakes. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein said carrier is transparent. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein said carrier is selected from the group consisting of polyester polyurethanes, polyether polyurethanes and polyester polyether polyurethanes. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein the amount of said 2D carbon microparticles is in the range of 15 g/kg to 60 g/kg of the dry composition. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein the application of said composition to said textiles is carried out by applying a pressure to the composition of at least 20 N/cm2, whereby said composition is spread to said textiles. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The process according to claim 1, wherein the application of said composition to said textiles is carried out by one method selected by the group consisting of rope dyeing, screen printing and knife coating. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) A textile as obtainable by a process according to claim 1. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A textile according to claim 9 coated with a composition containing 2D carbon microparticles in a carrier, wherein on such textile there are light-reflecting shiny areas amounting to at least 3%, per unit square area. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) A textile according to claim 10 that is a fabric comprising a coating on at least part of at least a surface thereof, wherein said coating contains 2D carbon microparticles in a carrier. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The fabric according to claim 11, wherein said 2D carbon microparticles are graphite flakes and a dimension in which the length of the major axis in the range of 0.1 to 250 microns. ### Claim 13 (depends on 11) The fabric according to claim 11, wherein said carrier is transparent, and is selected from the group consisting of polyester polyurethanes, polyether polyurethanes and polyester polyether polyurethanes. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The fabric according to claim 10, wherein the amount of said 2D carbon microparticles is in the range of 15 g/kg to 60 g/kg of the dry composition. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) A textile according to claim 10, that is a yarn comprising a coating on at least part of its surface, wherein said coating contains 2D carbon microparticles in a carrier. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) A garment comprising the fabric as defined in claim 10 and/or a yarn comprising a coating on at least part of its surface, characterized in that said coating contains 2D carbon microparticles in a carrier. ### Claim 17 (depends on 16) The garment according to claim 16, wherein said fabric and/or said yarn are at least in part located on the outer surface of said garment.
