The application relates to a fire-resistant textile composite having an upper surface and a lower surface. The composite contains a nonwoven layer and a knit layer. The nonwoven layer has a first and second side and contains a nonwoven textile. The nonwoven textile contains a plurality of first fire-resistant fibers, where the first fire-resistant fibers are non-thermoplastic. The nonwoven layer forms the lower surface of the textile composite. The knit layer contains a knit textile having a first and second side and the second side of the knit layer is adjacent to the first side of the nonwoven layer. The knit textile contains a plurality of second fire-resistant yarns, where the second fire-resistant yarns are non-thermoplastic. At least a portion of the first fire-resistant fibers from the nonwoven layer extend through the first side of the knit layer and form the upper surface of the textile composite.

A method to manufacture a carrier material including a nonwoven layer of fibers and threads extending in the longitudinal direction of the carrier material includes the steps of supplying a nonwoven layer of fibers, supplying a scrim comprising weft threads including a polymer having a melting temperature equal to or less than the lowest melting temperature of the thermoplastic fibers of the nonwoven layer of fibers, and thermally bonding the scrim to the nonwoven layer of fibers.

A layered composite includes an insulation sheet and at least one scrim layer secured thereto. The at least one scrim layer may be embedded within the thickness of the insulation sheet, or bonded to a corresponding face of the insulation sheet, and have a tensile strength greater than that of the insulation sheet. As such, the scrim layer provides structural support to the insulation sheet as well as a trap for fibers or particles that may separate from the insulation sheet.

A novel textile material particularly a wonder fabric comprising of a see-through construction of plurality of yarns intersecting one another at certain angles hydro-laminated thereof with pseudo yarns formed out of staple fibers and mechanical cross linking of yarns on at least one side under specific conditions thereof resulting into a durable and multi functional material suitable for home and apparel textile applications is disclosed herein. A process for production and apparatus thereof are also disclosed.
