Upholstery support material made of crossed strands of oriented thermoplastic elastomer |
(57) Oriented net furniture support materials made from thermoplastic elastomers have
been found to possess a unique combination of properties including high strength,
low creep and good flexibility. These furniture support materials can be made by extrusion
through a pair of concentric die sets rotating transversely to one another or by weaving
of monofilament.
