Abstract
A fabric suitable for an automobile cover includes a metalized fabric having a finish coating including an emulsion of urethane polymers, acrylic polymers and a fluorocarbon. The finish coating may also include an antimicrobial agent, a surfactant and a catalyst. Such a fabric can be manufactured by vacuum metalizing a fabric with aluminum, applying a finishing solution of urethane, acrylic, fluorocarbon emulsion, drying the fabric at a temperature between 320.degree. F. and 400.degree. F., and calendering the fabric.
