Technology:

Silver Lining reflective insulation material works as a heat mirror. Just as a mirror returns light, a heat-mirror returns heat. The ultra-thin coating of 99.999% pure aluminum is applied in a vacuum chamber. This highly efficient heat reflective coating is thinner than a human hair, and is capable of returning up to 60% of a person's body heat, even when wet! The fabric’s incredible insulation technology has been recognized by the Space Foundation, and is licensed, like AFM's Heatsheets, as part of their Certified SPACE Technology program.

Uses:

Silver Lining fabric offers manufacturers an easy-to-cut-and-sew form, and the option to choose between waterproof/windproof and breathable/wind-resistant. The fabric has many creative applications – including:

• Thermal linings
  
• Footwear
  
• Parka linings
  
• Mattress liners
  
• Emergency sleeping bags
  
• Travel and stadium blankets

Silver Lining Design Examples:

Silver Lining is a versatile, lightweight fabric that can be used either as a primary or integrated component in various applications. For example:

• Silver Lining is an ideal alternative for a heavy, bulky sleeping bag when temperatures are above 50F/9C. It makes an excellent emergency survival shelter for cold weather activities.
  
  
• Windproof, waterproof, and warm, Silver Lining is an excellent solution for any activity where inexpensive, lightweight weather protection is needed.
