This invention relates to a washable multi-component magnetic floor mat with a hidden base component. The floor mat contains a textile component and a base component. The textile component and the base component are attached to one another by magnetic attraction. The magnetic attraction is provided by incorporation of magnetic particles in both the textile and base components. The textile component is designed to be soiled, washed, and re-used, thereby providing ideal end-use applications in areas such as building entryways. The present invention eliminates the need to wash the base component of the floor mat which results in environmental, cost and labor conservation. Alignment and deployment of the textile component with the base component in an efficient manner is also described herein.

This invention relates to fabric for airbag comprising a textile substrate; and a coating layer on at least one side of the textile substrate, wherein coating layer comprises polyurethane resin, a crosslinking agent, and a hydrophilic thickener, and the crosslinking agent is a compound having a blocked active group, and a method for preparing fabric for airbag, comprising steps of: preparing a textile substrate; and forming a coating layer on at least one side of the textile substrate, wherein the step of forming a coating layer comprise steps of: adding a crosslinking agent and a hydrophilic thickener to an aqueous polyurethane dispersion to prepare a coating solution; applying the coating solution one at least one side of the textile substrate; drying the textile substrate on which the coating solution is applied; and heat treating the dried textile substrate.

The invention relates to a fabric for lightweight nautical sails, such as spinnakers, asymmetric spinnakers, and gennakers, for sailboats and other surface vessels, the fabric being formed of continuous polyester warp and weft yarns and being coated on one or both of its two surfaces with a crosslinked polymer, characterised in that the polyester is poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) having a tenacity greater than or equal to 6 cN/dtex; in that the fabric has a density of between 20 and 50 threads/cm, in terms of warp and weft density; in that the polymer is a crosslinked polyurethane (PU) that is polyether-, polyester-, or polycarbonate based; and in that this PU is derived from the crosslinking (1) of a single-component polyurethane elastomer having a modulus at 100% elongation comprised between 1 and 15 MPa, better still between 2 and 15 MPa, in particular between 6 and 15 MPa, according to the standard DIN 53504, used in implementation in solvent phase; and (2) by a crosslinking agent, based on a proportion of dry crosslinking agent relative to the dry elastomer of between 20% and 75% by weight, in particular between approximately 30% and approximately 75% by weight. The coated fabric has an elongation in the bias direction under 20 Lbs, comprised between 10 and 30 hundredths of an inch.

A composite material for footwear where the composite material includes a substrate and a material layer applied to the substrate. The material layer includes at least two transfer coating layers and an adhesive layer that secures the material layer to the substrate.

A hat capable of recovering the original shape and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The hat is characterized by preparing mixtures comprising waterborne polyurethane, water, and crosslinking agent; coating synthetic fiber yarns of the hat with the mixture; curing the mixtures in a certain temperature condition in order to form a thin polyurethane film on the surface of fabric or knitted fabric for the hat. The curing reaction products by the waterborne polyurethane component implement a shape recovery of the hat after the deformation or damage due to the external force in the initial shape of the hat.

An embodiment of a robotic fabric has a first fabric layer and an actuator that is configured to have a first state and a second state. A property of the first fabric layer is different when the actuator is in the first state as compared to the property of the first fabric layer when the actuator is in the second state.
