Texalium was developed by a company based out of California named Hexcel. It’s a fiberglass-based fabric that has a proprietary finish and a thin coating of aluminum on the surface. The aluminum coating is 99.99% pure and approximately 200 angstroms in thickness (One angstrom is one ten-billionth of a meter). This coating produces the highly reflective surface.
Texalium fabrics are woven in 2/2 twill.
