For providing a fabric that has a low frictional property and can exhibit long-term tribological properties even when the fabric is subjected to a high-speed frictional force under a high load, there is provided a fabric according to the present invention is a fabric in which a composite yarn of fluororesin fibers A and fibers B other than fluororesin fibers is used for at least one of a warp yarn and a weft yarn, and the fabric is characterized in that a mass ratio α of the fluororesin fibers A in the composite yarn is 5 to 70%, and a ratio of the area ratio X of the fluororesin fibers in a fabric surface to a mass ratio Y of the fluororesin fibers in the fabric is 1 or more and 5 or less. This fabric can be usefully used for a cable cover for a robot arm.

A sailcloth including a woven fabric of a first fiber material and a second fiber material woven into it, in which the second fiber material forms a network structure within the woven fabric, with the second fiber material having a higher tearing resistance than the first fiber material and with the second fiber having a sliding ability within the woven fabric.

A sailcloth including a woven fabric of a first fiber material and a second fiber material woven into it, in which the second fiber material forms a network structure within the woven fabric, with the second fiber material having a higher tearing resistance than the first fiber material and with the second fiber having a sliding ability within the woven fabric.

Provided are a base cloth for a material and a manufacturing method therefor, the base cloth suppressing opening of a boundary portion between an expanding part and a non-expanding part when used in a bag body, having low dynamic air permeability, and being capable of exhibiting the characteristic of being unlikely to burst even at high temperatures. A fabric base cloth for a material according to the present invention is composed of fibers having a prescribed thread breaking strength value, and for which the cloth surface is not subjected to resin coating, laminating, or a resin impregnation treatment.

A sliding seismic isolation device includes a structure fixation plate having a first sliding surface and a metallic slider having a second sliding surface contacting the first sliding surface. A friction member composed of a single-layer fabric is attached to the first sliding surface, the second sliding surface, or both of the first sliding surface and the second sliding surface. One of a warp and a weft is formed of multiple plied yarns into which high-strength fibers and PTFE fibers are twisted together and the other of the warp and the weft is formed of multiple high-strength fibers in the single-layer fabric. The single-layer fabric has a twill weave and is woven such that the plied yarns of the one forming the single-layer fabric are exposed at a surface opposite from the attachment side of the friction member more than the high-strength fibers of the other forming the single-layer fabric.

An anti-slip yoga rug comprising a fabric weave including a weft and a warp. The anti-slip yoga rug also comprising a topside grip, the topside grip including an anti-slip ridge woven into the fabric weave, and a bottom-side grip. The anti-slip yoga rug further including an edger that circumferentially surrounds one or more edges of the anti-slip yoga rug and wherein the bottom-side grip mechanically connects to an underside of the edger.

Provided is a fabric for use as sportswear, the side fabric of a futon or the inner bag thereof that has superior heat retention and a soft texture despite being lightweight and thin. The fabric is a thin fabric having a fabric density of 15 g/m.sup.2 to 50 g/m.sup.2 in which thermoplastic synthetic fibers having fineness of 5 dtex to 30 dtex are arranged in at least a portion of the warp yarn or weft yarn, wherein the average deviation of the coefficient of friction on at least one side of the fabric is 0.008 to 0.05, and the value of Qmax of that one side of the fabric is 85 W/m.sup.2.Math.° C. to 125 W/m.sup.2.Math.° C.

Textile with an adhesive effect containing at least one stitch-forming adhesive thread. The adhesive thread has a component that imparts an adhesive effect at least at a surface thereof.

A self-wrapping textile sleeve that is abrasion, arc and water resistant and method of construction thereof is provided. The sleeve includes a wall having opposite edges extending in a lengthwise direction along a central longitudinal axis of the sleeve between opposite ends. The opposite edges overlap one another to form an inner tubular cavity. The wall has warp yarns extending in the lengthwise direction generally parallel to the central longitudinal axis and weft yarns extending generally transversely to the longitudinal axis between the opposite edges. The warp and weft yarns include expanded PTFE yarns, and the weft yarns further include heat-settable thermoplastic yarns. The heat-settable polymeric yarns impart a bias on the wall to bring the opposite edges into their overlapping relation.

The present invention relates to a body and hair towel comprising a microfiber interior layer and a silk exterior layer. The novel towel is comprised of a plurality of double layered capsules, wherein each capsule has an interior layer of microfiber material and an exterior layer of silk material. The exterior silk layer on the capsules provides an extremely smooth texture to the towel, thereby making the towel comfortable and convenient to use by people having dry skin, skin conditions or the like, and may also be comfortably used on hair without affecting the health of hair and skin of the users.
