The invention relates to a weatherproofing arrangement having a textile sheet material which forms a screen against the effects of weather, in particular against solar radiation and/or rain, and has warp threads and weft threads connected to one another in the manner of latticework. In order to achieve particular protective functions, it is proposed for the warp threads and weft threads to bound elongate-rectangular latticework openings, wherein the length of these openings is at least 10 times the width thereof, and wherein the width of the openings is from between 0.1 and 0.001 mm.

Fabrics made for apparel, tents, sleeping bags and the like, in various composites, constructed such that a combination of substrate layers and insulation layers is configured to provide improved thermal insulation. The fabric composites are constructed to form a radiant barrier against heat loss via radiation and via conduction from a body.

A method is provided for producing a fiber fabric by preparing a finishing agent treatment liquid having a mixture of first and second particles of titanium oxide having a particle diameter of 150 to 200 nm and 1 to 5 μm respectively, a silver zeolite and a binder resin, immersing a fiber fabric in the finishing agent, thermal drying the fiber fabric and subjecting the fiber fabric to heat treatment to allow the finishing agent to adhere to the fiber fabric.

Disclosed are compositions that can he used in forming products with increased near infrared (IR) reflective capability. A composition can include IR reflective and/or IR transmissive non-white pigments and can be formed with suitable viscosity so as to successfully coat substrates, e.g., yarns, suitable for use in forming coverings for architectural openings, e.g., window coverings. Also disclosed are textile substrates coated with the compositions, including textile substrates coated with compositions that in dude abrasive, inorganic IR reflective dark pigments.
