Abstract
A decorative pleatable material adapted for the fabrication of pleated shades is described. The material is comprised of a pleatable fabric having a decorative resin coat containing desired pigment adhered to the face of the fabric by means of a polyurethane layer embedded in the structure of the fabric. The decorative resin coat is overlaid with a top-coat that prevents blocking during pleating. A preferred top-coat is comprised of a film forming cellulose derivative containing amorphous fumed silica. A film transfer strip for producing the decorative pleatable material is also described.
