The laminate is characteristically low-cost and suitable for such apparel applications as sports clothing, military clothing, camping gear, hunting/fishing clothing, and the like.
Claims15
A heat-reflective, garment interlining laminate article, the laminate article comprising:
- a continuous filament nonwoven layer;
- a metallized thermoplastic film layer affixed directly to the continuous filament nonwoven layer, wherein said metallized thermoplastic film layer consists of single thermoplastic film layer directly affixed as an extrusion coating to the continuous filament nonwoven layer and a metal coating layer applied to a film surface of the thermoplastic film layer affixed to the continuous filament nonwoven layer, and wherein the metallized thermoplastic film layer exhibits a reflectivity of at least about 0.85;
- and
- at least one aperture whereby the laminate article comprising said nonwoven layer and said metallized thermoplastic film layer is entirely apertured sufficient to facilitate flow of air through the laminate article and impart a breathable performance thereto.
1 more element
A heat-reflective, garment interlining laminate article, the laminate article comprising:
- a continuous filament nonwoven layer including at least one surface projection, creating a bi-planar nonwoven layer effective to facilitate flow of air through the laminate article;
- and
- a metallized thermoplastic film layer affixed directly to the continuous filament nonwoven layer, wherein said metallized thermoplastic film layer consists of single smooth thermoplastic film layer directly affixed as an extrusion coating to the continuous filament nonwoven layer uniform metal coating layer applied to a film surface of the thermoplastic film layer as affixed to the continuous filament nonwoven layer, and wherein the metallized thermoplastic film layer exhibits a reflectivity of at least about 0.85.
