A textile fabric having increased improved surface properties, variously including surface stability, abrasion resistance, resistance to edge fraying, moisture control, and resistance to fluid penetration is created by introducing a plurality of particles including low-melting particles onto a top surface of the textile fabric. The top surface includes elevated areas, depressed areas, a plurality of surface fibers and gaps among the plurality the plurality of surface fibers. A desired pattern of particle deposition and depth of penetration from the top surface of the plurality of particles into the gaps is established, and heat is applied to the top surface to melt the low-melting particles deposited onto the surface.

A process for forming a seam construction on a substrate includes steps of: a) providing a first thread coated with a first curable resinous material; b) providing a second thread coated with a second curable resinous material; c) forming a stitch knot; and d) curing the stitch knot to chemically bond the first and second curable resinous materials together.

A coating apparatus of an airbag reinforcing liquid is used in a sewing machine that includes: a sewing needle driving an upper thread by penetrating sewing target cloth through a vertical movement; and a presser foot disposed above the sewing target cloth, and feeding the sewing target cloth while moving vertically synchronously with the vertical movement of the sewing needle. The coating apparatus includes: a reinforcing liquid supplying part, supplying a reinforcing liquid for reinforcing a sewn part onto the sewing target cloth on a front side from the sewing needle in a feeding direction of the sewing target cloth; and a stamp part attached to the presser foot, and expand the reinforcing liquid supplied from the reinforcing liquid supplying part onto the sewing target cloth around the sewn part by being operated integrally with the presser foot above the sewing target cloth.

Provided herein is a composition for digital burnout of a fabric, comprising a fiber-selective burnout agent and a carrier, being formulated for ejection from inkjet machinery. Also provided are a process, a machine and an algorithm for using and deploying the composition for digital burnout of a fabric.

Processes for forming cosmetically appealing edges on laminated fabric structures are described. The methods involve a laser cutting process that includes in-process melting of polymer material within the laminated fabric so as to coat fibers of the laminated fabric. The resultant cut laminated fabric has a cosmetic edge that has no exposed fibers. The laser cutting and melting can be performed in a single laser cutting operation, making it well suited for integration into manufacturing product lines.

A multi-step process involves formulation and treatment of silicone to break the surface tension transforming silicone texture from traditional rubbery-feeling to smooth satin finish. A low viscosity, translucent silicone rubber compound is separated and cured at room temperature. Part A (Base) is modified to include silicone thinner. Part B (Catalyst) is modified to include retarder. Both Parts A and B are weighed to equal parts. Part A is further modified by including color pigment and colorized mica powder. Parts A and B are mixed at a 1:1 ratio. This formulated silicone is poured into a syringe and applied to hand-painted silk fabric to create scarf border and decorative design. Silicone is allowed to set. Silicone is then treated by: (1) applying 170 heat for period of time, contingent on air temperature and humidity; and (2) dusting and lightly brushing the silicone with a 50/50 mixture of mica and rice powder.
