Abstract (en)

[origin: GB2236771A] A stitchbonded nonwoven fabric which comprises a fibrous layer is reinforced in a first direction with bulkable thread and in a second direction with substantially inextensible thread, the reinforcing directions being at an angle of at least 50 degrees with each other, exhibits superior strength, resistance to splitting and repeated washability. The bulkable thread may be spandex wrapped with inelastic thread, or textured polyester nylon or polypropylene. The inextensible thread may be the bulkable thread and be inextensible during the stitching. It may be laid as wefts before stitching or the two threads stitched together. The bulkable thread may be deformed out of the plane of the fabric by chemical action, moisture or 50 to 200 degrees C, heat to contract the fabric. <IMAGE>
