Disclosed are exemplary embodiments of woven filtration fabrics that include core-sheath spun yarns in either or both of the warp and weft directions.

The purpose of the present invention is to improve thermal stability in a lightweight woven fabric that is useful for air bag applications and the like. This woven fabric comprises synthetic fibers, and is characterized in that, with regard to a rising temperature differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) endothermic curve for the woven fabric, the ratio of the amount of heat absorbed on the high temperature side of the maximum temperature of the melting endotherm on the rising temperature DSC endothermic curve for a woven fabric structure, to the overall heat absorbed exceeds 45%.

The present invention provides a fabric comprising or consisting of: a first yarn comprising a fiber blend of modal and polyester; a second yarn comprising spandex; and a third yarn comprising polyester. The polyester in the fiber blend may have a cross-section such as X-shape, M-shape, I-shape, honeycomb-shape, Y-shape, U-shape or O-shape that creates a plurality of spaces along the length of the first yarn that facilitate a capillary action. The modal in the fiber blend may have a cross-section that is substantially rectangular.

A monofilament yarn (10) has a polygon cross-section having a width and a height, which width is greater than the height, and four corners (11, 12, 13, 14) of which the first two opposite corners (11, 13) have angles of over 90 degrees, and the second two opposite corners (12, 14) have angles under 90 degrees, said width being 0.1 to 3 mm. The rounded first two opposite corners have a radius of 0.1 to 0.15 mm, and the rounded second two opposite corners have a radius of 0.075 to 0.1 mm. The yarn may be used to fabricate an industrial textile, which may be a papermaking fabric such as a dryer fabric or a forming fabric, or a filter fabric, such as a disc filter, a horizontal vacuum belt filter, a belt filter press, a twin wire press, a drum filter, a pan filter, a gravity table or a filter press.

A fiber structure body includes a several fiber layers stacked in a stacking direction and has a multi-axial orientation that includes axial-force directional yarns, orthogonal directional yarns, and intersecting yarns. The fiber structure body includes a flat plate portion and a bend portion that is bent to the flat plate portion and includes a surface intersecting with a surface of the flat plate portion. The axial-force directional yarns are made of continuous fiber of reinforced fiber. Of yarns that form the bend portion and are other than the axial-force directional yarns, yarns that form at least one axis of the bend portion are provided by spun yarns made of discontinuous fiber.

A protective textile sleeve for routing and protecting elongate members against impact and method of constructed thereof are provided. The sleeve includes a plurality of yarns interlaced with one another, with the interlaced yarns forming an elongate, circumferentially continuous, tubular wall extending lengthwise along a longitudinal axis between opposite open ends. At least some of the plurality of yarns include tubular yarn having a central cavity extending along the length of the tubular yarn, thereby providing an impact resistant, dual layered wall to the tubular yarn. The sleeve can be constructed in a weaving, braiding or knitting process, wherein the tubular yarn can be interlaced as a woven yarn, braided yarn, or knit yarn, and further, the tubular yarn can be interlaced as an inserted yarn.

A woven geosynthetic fabric having a weft direction and a warp direction, comprises weft yarns woven in the weft direction and warp yarns woven in the warp direction interweaving the weft yarns to form a fabric having comparable modulus; the warp yarns comprising a high modulus monofilament yarn having a tenacity of at least 0.75 g/denier at 1% strain, at least 1.5 g/denier at 2% strain, and at least 3.75 g/denier at 5% strain as determined in accordance with ASTM International Standard 4595.

Provided is a multiple woven gauze fabric capable of controlling the degree of wrinkling according to use. A double woven gauze fabric is formed by stacking a front surface gauze structure A and a back surface gauze structure B. The front surface gauze structure A and the back surface gauze structure B are formed, and the front surface gauze structure A and the back surface gauze structure B are joined, as appropriate. The front surface gauze structure A is composed of a non-twist yarn, and the back surface gauze structure B is composed of a hollow yarn. That is, a gauze structure composed only of twisted yarn (solid yarn) is not included. The degree of wrinkling is controlled by considering the hollow rate of the hollow yarn.
