Abstract: A woven textile includes, in at least one of the warp or weft directions, non-flocked yarns and flocked yarns. The flocked yarns include a support yarn having a core covered with an adhesive layer. The support yarn has a base diameter. Protruding filaments provide the flocked yarns with an apparent diameter. The non-flocked yarns have a diameter which is smaller than the apparent diameter and larger than the base diameter of the flocked yarns.

Abstract: A translucent or transparent composite flexible sheet includes at least one reinforcing layer comprising high tenacity yarns; and a fluorinated polymeric film which is translucent or transparent to visible light, which is integral with the reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer is a textile with a light transmittance of more than 40%, and includes high tenacity yarns based on an aromatic block polyester with a Young's modulus of more than 50 GPa. The yarns have a sheath of material which blocks ultraviolet radiation.

Abstract: The invention relates to a retractable pipe whose wall is formed of at least one flexible gas-impermeable and/or liquid-impermeable tape welded by its selvages in the form of a cylindrical helix and of at least one metal wire in the form of a cylindrical helix whose pitch is the same as the one formed by said band, characterized in that said tape is a double fabric textile comprising at least two regions where the two fabrics work together to delimit at least one inflatable zone, said textile being covered with a coating layer of a gas and/or liquid-impermeable material.

Abstract: Textile ply formed by weaving yarns sheathed in a thermoplastic substance, said sheathed yarns being spaced apart from one another in both the warp and weft direction so as to form openings referred to as “intersection” openings arranged at the intersections between the warp yarns and weft yarns, said textile ply being intended to enable an absorption of sound waves, characterized in that it comprises in the warp direction and/or in the weft direction a plurality of groups of at least two sheathed yarns that are juxtaposed and that have the same weaving orientation, said yarns of one and the same group being locally spaced apart from one another and forming a plurality of openings referred to as “parallel” openings each comprising a shape and an angular orientation that are different from those of the openings referred to as “intersection” openings.
