Publication number: 20200308737Abstract: The invention relates to a knit fabric. There is a need for knit fabrics made that are comfortable to wear, have good washability and high softness. Good washability implies both dimensional stability of the fabric and maintaining positive surface aspects such as hairiness, pilling and fiber splice even after several washings. This object is solved according to the invention by a knitted fabric made from at least one yarn which consists of or contains lyocell filaments. The resulting fabric has a high wearing comfort and superior mechanical qualities.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2018Publication date: October 1, 2020Inventors: Susanne Carls, Martin Neunteufel, Dieter Eichinger, Christoph Schrempf, Mohammad Abu-Rous

Publication number: 20200240051Abstract: Silk woven fabric is known and renowned for its touch. The drawback of silk, however, is its price, its poor washability, and low resistance against certain chemical treatments. It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a silk-like woven fabric which overcomes these problems. According to the invention, this problem is solved by providing a silk-like woven fabric (2) made from weft yarns (4) and warp yarns (6), wherein at least one of the weft yarns (4) and the warp yarns (6) contains or consists of lyocell filaments (8). Especially twisted lyocell filament yarns are used, the resulting material has a touch comparable to silk and physical properties that are equal to or even surpass those of silk. Moreover, the lyocell filament yarns (4, 6) may have a higher twist than silk yarns, other cellulose yarns, or synthetic yarns.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 19, 2018Publication date: July 30, 2020Inventors: Susanne Carls, Martin Neunteufel, Dieter Eichinger, Christoph Schrempf, Mohammad Abu-Rous
