A thread made from extruded silicone rubber that is cross-linked after the extrusion and woven into a fabric having warp threads and/or weft threads and a coating including cross-linked silicone rubber, the thread or the coating including a fluorinated rubber portion. The invention also relates to a method for producing such threads and woven fabrics. The object of the invention is to improve thermal and chemical resistance. To this end the fluorinated rubber part is produced only by surface fluorination of the cross-linked thread or the coating by means of a fluorinated gas.

Woven fabric made of cotton yarn or regenerated cellulose fibers yarn or a combination thereof and polyesters. The woven fabric includes forming 500-1500 thread count per inch of fine textile fabric. The woven textile fabric has 50-89 ENDS PER INCH warp yarns per inch of cotton yarn or regenerated cellulose fiber yarn or a combination thereof (e.g., a combination thereof means cotton and regenerated cellulose fiber blended yarn) and of 20-40 NE (warp yarn count), wherein single yarn per dent may be setup in the reed apparatus of the warp of the loom apparatus. Additionally, the woven textile fabric comprises of 50-91 picks per inch in the weft in which each pick contains atleast 2-24 multifilament polyester yarns. The picks are woven into the fabric using multi-filament weft yarns during a single pick insertion event of a pick insertion apparatus of a loom. Additionally, the warp to weft ratio of the woven fabric is atleast 1:5.

A woven warp-knit-like fabric, includes a first warp yarn, a second warp yarn, a third warp yarn, and a weft yarn; the first warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a surface layer of a fabric, the second warp yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form a middle layer of the fabric, and the third yarn is interwoven with the weft yarn to form an inner layer of the fabric; at least three weft weave points are provided between two adjacent groups of warp weave points on the third warp yarn; the first warp yarn is a non-elastic yarn, the third warp yarn is an elastic yarn or a non-elastic yarn, and elastic properties of the second warp yarn are greater than those of the first warp yarn and the third warp yarn.

The disclosure provides a woven fabric, wherein all warp and weft yarns may be elastic. One or more of the weft and warp yarns may have a stretchable core comprising a first elastic fiber and a second fiber that may be less elastic than said first fiber. The elastic warp yarns may have a twist level with a twist multiplier in the range of 2.5 to 6. In embodiments, a woven fabric may include all warp and weft yarns being elastic, all weft and warp yarns having 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 (E.sub.weft) is at least 25%, preferably at least 30%, more preferably 40%. In embodiments, the elasticity of the fabric in the warp direction may be at least 25%.

A process for manufacturing a bonded fabric for high performance industrial belts is provided. The process includes providing a base fabric made up of warp yarns provided with a predetermined elasticity and weft yarns provided with a lower elasticity than the warp yarns, and subjecting the base fabric to a bonding treatment.

To provide towel cloth which has favorable pile uprightness (erectility of pile) and bulkiness, and has both a fluffy hand and a dry touch, and moreover which hardly drops fluff, and a manufacturing method of such towel cloth. Towel cloth constituted by locking a pile yarn to a ground yarn, wherein the pile yarn has two or more single yarns which are initially twisted in a same direction and which are subsequently twisted in an opposite direction to the initial twist.
