Flame resistant composite articles and methods

Sealing Tapes adapted for bonding to a fabric laminated product are described herein. The sealing tapes exhibit a total cover factor of 1400 or less and exhibit a porous open structure having water resistance characteristics. In some embodiments, the sealing tape of the present invention comprises a base film and a woven fabric laminated on one side of the base film and an adhesive layer laminated on the other side of the base film.

Sealing tape and textile product using the same

The present invention provides a layered product, which, when processed into a textile product by sewing, fusing, or the like, overcomes such a practical restriction that a knit must be used on the side to be subjected to a sealing treatment, makes the sealing treatment easier, has intact appearance and touch feeling, and is lightweight. The layered product comprises a flexible film and a woven fabric layered thereon at the side to be subjected to the sealing treatment in processing the layered product into the textile product. The layered product has a total cover factor (CF) from 700 to 1400, calculated from the cover factors of the warp and the weft constituting the woven fabric.CF=CF+CF

Layered product and textile product comprising the same

The present invention is a luminous fabric and garment that have excellent luminescent properties under conditions of poor lighting, that lose their luminescent properties only slightly due to wear degradation and the like during prolonged use, that have the same color tone and design as regular fabrics and garments during day use, and that possess excellent aesthetic qualities and are free from design limitations.
