A fabric made by the method of providing a non-woven batt having flame retardant fibers, stitch bonding the non-woven batt with an elastic yarn, and heat setting the stitch bonded, non-woven batt. The stitch bonded non-woven batt is exposed to a temperature in a range of 160° C. to 200° C. for a period in a range of 30 seconds to 120 seconds. In an embodiment, the fabric is adapted for use as a mattress core cover.

A stretchable flame barrier panel including an interior stretch zone having elastomeric yarns extending across a fibrous base layer of textile fibers and optionally substantially stable lateral selvage zones outboard of the interior stretch zone. In a finished state, the interior stretch zone has substantial stretch and recovery in both the machine direction and the cross-machine direction.

A three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet that can be washed without deformation is provided in the present invention, which includes a surface layer, a three-dimensional interlayer, and an anti-slip layer. The three-dimensional interlayer is composed of an upper knitted fabric layer, a lower knitted fabric layer, and a composite filament connecting layer arranged vertically in the middle and connecting the upper layer and the lower layer. The three-dimensional interlayer composite carpet adopting a composite filament connecting structure of the present invention has strong supporting force and high extensibility, and can be repeatedly folded for more than 1000 times. The washing shrinkage of 10 washings does not exceed 2%, and the composite carpet will not be deformed under long-term squeezing, heat, and moisture.

The present invention relates to a bidirectional low tearing strength spacer textile using warp knitting, more particularly, relates to a spacer textile comprising a surface textile layer, a rear surface textile layer, and a spacer thread connecting the textile layers, wherein the surface textile layer and the rear surface textile layer include a main thread provided with a plurality of open loops formed with openings in a longitudinal direction.

A spacer textile material may include a first layer, a second layer, and a plurality of connecting members extending between and joining the first layer and the second layer. The connecting members may form a series of at least ten rows that are separated by spaces. The rows have a width that is less than a width of the spaces, and the connecting members form at least one stabilizing row with a width that is greater than the width of the spaces.

A fabric made by the method of providing a non-woven batt having flame retardant fibers, stitch bonding the non-woven batt with an elastic yarn, and heat treatment the stitch bonded, non-woven batt. The stitch bonded non-woven batt is exposed to a temperature in a range of 65° C. to 200° C. for a period in a range of 30 seconds to 120 seconds, and contracts in the machine direction in a range of 5% to 65% and in the cross-direction in a range of 20% to 70%. In an embodiment, the fabric is adapted for use as a mattress core cover.

A greenhouse screen is described with strips of film material that are interconnected by a yarn system of transverse threads and longitudinal threads by means of knitting, warp-knitting or weaving process to form a continuous product is disclosed. At least some of the strips include a film material in the form of a single- or multilayer polyethylene film having a thickness of 10-70 micrometers. Said film has at least 2-4 wt.-% SiO.sub.2 particles having a D.sub.50 of 2-10 micrometers. The film is advantageously used as a screen providing light scattering properties particularly suited for greenhouse applications.

A hybrid reinforcing fabric includes glass fibers and carbon fibers. The hybrid reinforcing fabric can be readily infused at an acceptable infusion speed, without requiring that the carbon fiber tows used resin. Thus, the fabric provides for an effective one-step (i.e., in the mold) infusion process during composite part formation.

A stitchbonded washable towel made from a stitchbonded fabric having a cellulosic nonwoven sheet of cellulosic fibers, and an integrated nonwoven sheet of an outer sublayer of wood pulp fibers, and an inner layer of textile fibers substantially entangled with the wood pulp fibers, and confronting the cellulosic nonwoven sheet of cellulosic fibers. The stitchbonded fabric as uses a pattern of stitching yarns that fixes the cellulosic nonwoven sheet to the integrated nonwoven sheet. A post-treatment of the stitchbonded fabric in a heated aqueous solution containing soil release polymer gathers the fabric into the towel, and provides stain and soil re-deposition resistance.

A method for producing at least one transmitting and/or receiving antenna (2) for transmitting and/or receiving electromagnetic waves. Electrically conductive threads are worked into a textile substrate material (1) as transmitting and/or receiving antennas (2) by means of a tricot machine or Raschel machine. The invention further relates to a corresponding transmitting and/or receiving antenna (2).
