Abstract
A process for coating a surface includes preparing a coating mixture by mixing a selected solvent with a silicone rubber adhesive sealant and applying the mixture to the surface. The mixture may be applied as a very thin layer to a woven fabric so that the coating layer has pore spaces corresponding to gaps in the weave of the fabric, so as to provide a semipermeable membrane. In another arrangement, the coating material includes hollow microspheres or capillary tubing of various types, so as to provide improved insulation without adding substantial weight to the surface.
Claims26
A process for coating a surface of a substrate, comprising the steps of:
- forming a sprayable rubber material;
- and
- applying a coating to completely cover one side only of a substrate to form at least one coating layer of selected thickness on top of the surface of the substrate, the coating including at least one layer of the sprayable rubber material and a plurality of hollow, gas-filled bodies.
A process for coating a surface, comprising the steps of:
- forming a sprayable rubber material;
- applying the rubber material onto a surface so as to form a first layer completely covering the surface;
- applying a layer of hollow gas-filled bodies to the first layer while the first layer is still wet so as to completely cover the first layer with a second layer of thickness equal to that of one gas-filled body;
- and
- repeating the steps of applying the sprayable rubber mixture and gas-filled bodies in alternating layers to the surface to form a coating of selected thickness on top of the surface.
A process for coating a surface, comprising the steps of:
- forming a sprayable rubber material;
- mixing a plurality of hollow, gas-filled bodies into the sprayable rubber material mixture;
- applying the mixture of sprayable rubber material and gas-filled bodies as a coating of selected thickness to completely cover a surface.
A process for coating a surface, comprising the steps of:
- forming a sprayable rubber material;
- applying a first layer of the sprayable rubber material to the surface;
- and
- applying a second layer on top of the first layer, the second layer comprising a plurality of particles formed at least partially of electrically conductive material to form at least one electrically conductive layer separated from the surface by the rubber material layer.
A seamless, one-piece garment, comprising:
- an inner foundation layer of textile material for covering part of a wearer's body including at least part of the torso, the inner layer comprising a plurality of pieces of said material secured together along seams;
- a continuous coating completely covering said inner layer including said seams to provide a seamless outer layer;
- the coating including at least one layer of sprayable rubber material;
- and
- the coating including a layer of hollow, gas-filled bodies on top of said one layer.
A seamless, one-piece garment, comprising:
- an inner foundation layer of textile material for covering part of a wearer's body including at least part of the torso, the inner layer comprising a plurality of pieces of said material secured together along seams;
- a continuous coating completely covering said inner layer including said seams to provide a seamless outer layer;
- the coating including at least one layer of sprayable rubber material;
- and
- said coating including a plurality of hollow, gas-filled bodies mixed into said rubber material.
A seamless, one-piece garment, comprising:
- an inner foundation layer of textile material for covering part of a wearer's body including at least part of the torso, the inner layer comprising a plurality of pieces of said material secured together along seams;
- a continuous coating completely covering said inner layer including said seams to provide a seamless outer layer;
- the coating including at least one layer of sprayable rubber material;
- and
- said coating further including a layer including a plurality of particles of electrically conductive material forming an electrically conductive layer on top of said rubber material layer.
