Abstract:
The present invention relates to a white fabric with increased opacity as obtainable a process comprising the step of: a) providing at least a fabric; b) treating at least part of said fabric with an aqueous composition comprising titanium dioxide and at least a cross-linkable binder; and c) heating the fabric obtained in step b).
Abstract:
A composite yarn (1) having a core (2) and a sheath (3), preferably comprising staple fibers (3a), said core (2) comprising at least one polymeric core fiber (21), preferably a plurality of core fibers (21), made of polymeric material, wherein the total amount of the core fibers (21) is at least 35% by weight of the total weight of the composite yarn (1), and wherein the core fiber (21) and the sheath (3) are spun together.
Abstract:
In a process for recycling waste fabric comprising elastomeric material a polar solvent is flowed through the waste fabric in an extraction chamber to dissolve and remove the elastomeric material; the solvent is evaporated in an evaporation chamber and condensed to be sent to a solvent collection tank or back to the extraction chamber; the dissolved elastomeric material is eventually recovered from the concentrated polar solvent.
Abstract:
In a stretch yarn (1) comprising a stretchable core (2) covered by an inelastic fibers sheath (3) the stretchable core (2) comprises first and second fibers (4, 5) that have elastic properties, the first fiber (4) is an elastomer and the second fiber (5) is a polyester based (co)polymer, the amount of the second fiber being in the range of 60-90% (w/w) of the total weight of the fibers of the stretchable core (2); the first and second fibers are connected together at least at a plurality of points (P).
Abstract:
In a woven fabric all warp and weft yarns are elastic, all weft and warp yarns have a stretchable core comprising a first elastic fiber and a second fiber that is less elastic than said first fiber, and the elasticity of the fabric in warp direction is at least 25% and elasticity of the fabric in weft direction (Eweft) is at least 30%, preferably at least 40%.
Abstract:
A woven fabric having warp yarns and weft yarns, wherein said warp yarns and said weft yarns comprise a core and a sheath, said core comprising a first core component and a second core component, wherein the first core component has a breaking tenacity, measured with DIN EN ISO 2062, of at least 6 g/den, more preferably of at least 10 g/den, more preferably of at least 14 g/den, even more preferably of at least 20 g/den, wherein the second core component comprises elastomeric elements, and wherein elasticity of the fabric in warp direction is at least 20% (measured according to ASTM D3107) and elasticity of the fabric in weft direction is at least 20% (measured according to ASTM D3107).
Abstract:
A yarn (1) having a core (2) and a sheath (3), preferably comprising staple fibers, said core comprising at least one polymeric core fiber (21), preferably a plurality of polymeric core fibers (21), wherein the amount of the core fibers (21) is at least 35% by weight of the total weight of the yarn (1) and said core (2) and said sheath (3) are spun together.
Abstract:
A garment article is made of a fabric including a plurality of warp and weft yarns woven together in a pattern; at least the weft yarns include elastomeric yarns, to provide an elasticity of the fabric in warp direction that is at least 7% and elasticity of the fabric in weft direction that is at least 15%; the fabric of the garment is bias cut so that the weft yarns in the garment are angled with respect to the widthwise direction (WD) of the article.
Abstract:
A woven fabric that has the appearance of a neoprene fabric is obtained with a double face fabric in which the warp yarns passes at least three weft yarns on each side of the fabric.
