Abstract
A fabric printable medium comprising a fabric printable medium, with an image-side and a back-side, comprising a fabric base substrate; an image-receiving coating layer, applied on the image-side of printable medium, comprising a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network; a fire retarding barrier layer, applied to the back-side of the printable medium comprising polymeric binder and filler particles with flame retardancy properties; and, at least, a migration control finish layer comprising a film-formable polymer and a flame retardant agent, at a coat-weight ranging from about 0.5 to 10 gsm. Also disclosed are the method for making such fabric printable medium and the method for producing printed images using said material.
Claims10
A fabric printable medium, with an image-side and a back-side, comprising:
- a. a fabric base substrate defining the image-side and the back-side;
- b. an image-receiving coating layer, applied on the image-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network;
- c. a fire retarding barrier layer, applied to the back-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising polymeric binders and filler particles with flame retardancy properties;
- and
- d. a migration control finish layer comprising a film-formable polymer and a flame retardant agent, applied on each of the image-side and the back-side of the fabric base substrate at a coat-weight ranging from about 0.5 to 5 gsm.
A method for forming a fabric printable medium comprising:
- a. providing a fabric base substrate with an image-side and a back-side;
- b. applying a migration control finish layer comprising a film-formable polymer and a flame retardant agent on each of the image-side and the back-side of the fabric base substrate, at a coat-weight ranging from about 0.5 to 5 gsm;
- c. applying an image-receiving coating layer, comprising a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network, over the migration control finish layer on the image side of the fabric base substrate;
- and
- d. applying a fire retarding barrier layer comprising polymeric binder and filler particles with flame retardancy properties, on the back-side of the fabric base substrate.
A printing method comprising:
- a. obtaining a fabric printable medium comprising a fabric base substrate;
- an image-receiving coating layer, applied on an image-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising a first and a second crosslinked polymeric network;
- a fire retarding barrier layer, applied to a back-side of the fabric base substrate, comprising polymeric binder and filler particles with flame retardancy properties;
- and a migration control finish layer comprising a film-formable polymer and a flame retardant agent, applied to each of the image-side and the back-side of the fabric base substrate at a coat-weight ranging from about 0.5 to 5 gsm;
- and
- b. applying an ink composition onto said fabric printable medium to form a printed image on the image-side.
