Abstract

An article useful as an architectural fabric consisting of (a) a layer of fabric having a first surface and a second surface made of expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fibers that are densified or contain a filler or both; and (b) a fluoropolymer coating disposed on at least the first surface of the fabric.

Claims (24)

1. An architectural fabric comprising:

(a) a layer of fabric having a first surface and a second surface and comprising expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fibers, said fibers comprising a filler; and (b) a fluoropolymer coating disposed on said first surface and extending between and among said fibers from said first surface.
2. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 1 wherein said fluoropolymer coating is THV and said filler comprises TiO2.
3. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 2 wherein said filler is present in a non-zero amount of 2.0% or less by weight.
4. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 2 wherein said filler is present in a non-zero amount of 1.0% or less by weight.
5. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 2 wherein said filler is present in an amount of between about 0.3% and about 0.7% by weight.
6. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 2 wherein said filler is present in an amount of about 0.7% by weight.
7. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 2 wherein said filler is present in an amount of about 0.3% by weight.
8. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 1 wherein said architectural fabric is waterproof.
9. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 1 wherein said architectural fabric is flame retardant.
10. An architectural fabric comprising:

(a) a layer of fabric having a first surface and a second surface and comprising densified expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fibers;
and (b) a fluoropolymer coating disposed on said first surface and extending between and among said fibers from said first surface.
11. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 10 wherein said fibers contain a filler.
12. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler comprises TiO2.
13. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler is present in a non-zero amount of 2.0% or less by weight.
14. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler is present in a non-zero amount of 1.0% or less by weight.
15. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler is present in an amount of between about 0.3% and about 0.7% by weight.
16. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler is present in an amount of about 0.7% by weight.
17. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said filler is present in an amount of about 0.3% by weight.
18. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said architectural fabric is waterproof.
19. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said architectural fabric is flame retardant.
20. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 11 wherein said fluoropolymer comprises THV.
21. An architectural fabric comprising:

(a) a layer of fabric having a first surface and a second surface and comprising densified expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fibers;
(b) said fibers comprising a filler of TiO2 in an amount of between about 0.3% and 2.0% by weight, and (c) a THV coating disposed on said first surface and extending between and among said fibers from said first surface, (d) wherein said architectural fabric is waterproof, and (e) wherein said architectural fabric is flame retardant.
22. An article comprising:

(a) a fabric comprising densified expanded polytetrafluoroethylene fibers; and (b) said fibers comprising a filler of TiO2 in an amount of between about 0.3% and 2.0% by weight.
23. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 1 further comprising a fluoropolymer coating disposed on said second surface and extending between and among said fibers from said second surface.
24. An architectural fabric as defined in claim 23 wherein said fluoropolymer coating is THV.
