METHOD FOR PRODUCING A METALLISED FABRIC, AND RESULTING FABRIC
The invention relates to a method for producing a metallised fabric, including a step of washing a woven substrate, the method including, after the washing step, the following steps: calendering the substrate by applying a compression force to the substrate, and vacuum-metallising the substrate in a rarefied atmosphere by depositing metal particles so as to form a layer of metal on the substrate.

10 . A method for producing a metallized fabric, the method comprising:
first washing a woven substrate comprising yarns having a maximum weight of 70 decitex in the warp direction and in the weft or filling direction; then
calendering the substrate by applying a compressive force to the substrate; and
performing vacuum metallization on the substrate, by deposition of metal particles to form a layer of metal on the substrate, in a rarefied atmosphere.
11 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises synthetic fibers.
12 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the substrate comprises microfibers.
13 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the woven substrate comprises at least 42 warp yarns and 40 filling yarns per centimeter.
14 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein calendering the substrate comprises at least one pass for each side of the substrate.
15 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein performing vaccum metallization includes performing metal vapor deposition.
16 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the formed layer of metal is aluminum.
17 . The method as claimed in claim 10 , wherein during vacuum metallization, strips of substrate are alternated and placed end to end with strips of film to form a continuous strip that is introduced into the metallization machine.
18 . A metallized fabric that can be obtained by applying the method as claimed in claim 10 .
