The present invention comprises the coating and modification of textile materials in order to provide them with water-repellent properties. The object of the invention was to hydrophobize textiles loaded with metal oxide, wherein the hydrophobing agent presented here is non-toxic and environmentally friendly, adhering to the metal oxide surface considerably more stably and without the use of additional dispersants and binders, which also takes environmental aspects into account. The object is achieved by the use according to the invention of metal oxide particles and/or metal hydroxide particles of group IVB, IIB or IIIA or mixtures thereof, wherein said particles are present in a size range of 110 nm-10 μm, for the coating of textile materials and their treatment after application to the textile with phosphoric or phosphonic acid ester derivatives of the general form OP(OH).sub.2OR or OP(OH).sub.2R, wherein R is a hydrophobic residue in the form of aliphatic, branched or unbranched, alicyclic or aromatic hydrocarbon groups having 5-40 carbon atoms.

Novel coatings disclosed herein can be used to mitigate dust adhesion. In one embodiment, a method of making a dust repellant coating includes combining a titanium dioxide sol with colloidal silica to form a mixture. The method also includes adding solvent to the mixture, stirring the mixture for about an hour, and filtering the mixture into a solution of titanium dioxide and silica dioxide.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. More particularly, the present invention relates to: a method of manufacturing a high tenacity yarn, the method including coating a yarn made of at least one of nylon and polyester to obtain a coated yarn, wherein the coating material contains 3 to 35 parts by weight of a reinforcing agent composed of a mineral material per 100 parts by weight of a coating liquid containing polyurethane; and a high tenacity yarn manufactured thereby. Therefore, it is possible to manufacture a yarn having high tenacity and improved processability by processing a nylon or polyester yarn having a relatively low tenacity as compared with a high modulus polyethylene (HMPE) yarn by use of a yarn coating technique, and further to reduce production cost.

The present invention relates to an antiviral material including a Cu-M-O compound, in which the Cu at least includes a monovalent-state Cu and the M is at least one element selected from the group consisting of B, Al, Sc, Ti, Co, Cr, Ni, Ga, Y, Zr, In, Rh, and a lanthanoid.

The object of the invention is a composition for impregnating other materials, rendering them able to shield alternating electromagnetic fields in the range from low frequencies up to radio frequencies, containing an aqueous solution of salt that may form hydrates or a combination of salts, of which at least one forms a hydrate, characterised in that it contains an acrylic and/or styrene-acrylic dispersion and/or silicone emulsion and/or enhancing additives selected from a group containing surfactants and/or aluminosilicates and silicates and/or soluble and insoluble calcium compounds, metal and metalloid oxides, while an alternating field is shielded at least in range from 10.sup.−2 Hz to 10.sup.6 Hz and its application for coating/impregnating fibrous and/or porous matrix and materials containing the thereof.

The present invention relates to production of textile with high rate of evaporation of moisture content. In this invention, a textile substrate is coated with Near Infrared (NIR) energy absorbing agent to increase the surface temperature of substrate and enhance the evaporation of moisture from the textile substrate.
