The present invention relates to a transparency-enhanced fabric using a polyester-ether block copolymer yarn, and a manufacturing method therefor and, more specifically, the method comprises the steps of: manufacturing a polyester-ether block copolymer yarn; manufacturing a textile by using the yarn; and manufacturing a transparency-enhanced fabric by thermally contracting the textile. According to a transparency-enhanced fabric using a polyester-ether block copolymer yarn and a manufacturing method therefor, of the present invention, a polyester-ether block copolymer mono-yarn is used such that the present invention has enhanced transparency allowing a see-through effect and, simultaneously, has excellent stretchability, air permeability, and wear strength.

This disclosure relates generally to the preparation of eco-friendly engineered fabric, and more particularly to terry fabric and variations thereof. In one embodiment, a terry fabric is comprised of a soluble fiber blend, blended with cotton fibers, where the soluble fibers are dissolved in a caustic or enzyme solution to create highly porous yarns.

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.
