Embodiments of a leno weave mesh of the present invention generally include a plurality of high-temperature weft yarns, high-temperature warp yarns, and low melting point warp yarns; wherein each low melting point warp yarn is intertwined with a high-temperature warp yarn, each intertwined pair of warp yarns is positioned such that the low melting point warp yarn and high-temperature warp yarn are disposed alternatingly on either side of the woven mesh at intersections of the weft and warp yarns, and the woven mesh is heated whereby the surfaces of the low melting point warp yarns adhere to the surface of the high-temperature warp yarns and said high-temperature weft yarns at contact points there between. An intumescent coating system employing embodiments of the mesh, and a method of providing thermal protection to a substrate utilizing the intumescent coating system, are also provided.

A plastic fabric using a different-melting point core-sheath structure fiber comprises a top layer fabric, a support layer, and a bottom layer fabric. The top layer fabric is fabricated with a different-melting point fiber, which comprises a core-sheath structure including a core and a sheath wrapping the core. The core has a melting point higher than that of the sheath. The bottom layer fabric is disposed on one side of the top layer fabric. The support layer is disposed between the top layer fabric and the bottom layer fabric. As the core has a melting point higher than that of the sheath, the different-melting point fiber has superior dimensional stability and permanent shape memory after heat treatment for plastic shaping.

A FRP tubular body includes a tubular fiber structure formed by winding a reinforced fiber sheet made of fabric. The reinforced fiber sheet includes first reinforced fiber bundles arranged such that a yarn main axis direction extends in a circumferential direction of the fiber structure and second reinforced fiber bundles arranged such that a yarn main axis direction extends in an axial direction of the fiber structure. The reinforced fiber sheet includes a starting end, a finishing end, and a general portion located between the starting end and the finishing end. The general portion includes the first reinforced fiber bundles and the second reinforced fiber bundles. At least one of the starting end or the finishing end is a decreased portion that is smaller than the general portion in an amount of reinforced fibers per unit length in the circumferential direction of the fiber structure.

A fabric sheet with interwoven plastic strips is provided. The fabric sheet includes a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads interwoven together. One of the weft threads and the warp threads includes a fabric material and the other of the weft threads and the warp threads includes a plastic material.

A method of manufacturing a suspension member including providing a first set of yarns and a second set of yarns, combining the first set of yarns and the second set of yarns to form the suspension member, and at least partially bonding a portion of the first set of yarns and the second set of yarns together by heating the suspension member to form a first zone of the suspension member having a first tension.

In general, the present invention has to do with a UV reference indicator calibrated to represent the color or shade of a UV reactive dye after a predetermined exposure time to a UV radiation source.

A textile with high weave density which comprises a main-yarn made of a Japanese paper yarn and a sub-yarn thinner than the main-yarn interwoven with each other, wherein the textile has a weave texture structure including warps A and wefts A made of the main-yarn, and warps B and wefts B made of the sub-yarn, wherein in the weave texture structure, warp rows have a repeating row structure where a plurality of warps B are located between two warps A and weft rows have a repeating row structure where a plurality of wefts B are located between two wefts A, and wherein the warps A and the wefts A cross each other in a plain weave texture structure.

A flame resistant woven fabric has a thickness of 0.08 mm or more in accordance with the method of JIS L 1096-A (2010) and including warps and wefts, the warp and the weft each comprising: a non-melting fiber A having a high-temperature shrinkage rate of 3% or less; and a thermoplastic fiber B having an LOI value of 25 or more in accordance with JIS K 7201-2 (2007) and having a melting point lower than the ignition temperature of the non-melting fiber A; wherein the warp and the weft each have a fracture elongation of 5% or more; and wherein, in the projection area of the weave repeat of the flame resistant woven fabric, the area ratio of the non-melting fiber A is 10% or more and the area ratio of the thermoplastic fiber B is 5% or more.

This application relates to a hot-melt fiber containing silver particles, a preparation method thereof, and an article containing the hot-melt fiber.
