  • Manufacturing process of longitudinally and transversely elastic and extensive fabric
    Patent number: 5815868
    Abstract: A manufacturing process of an elastic & extensile fabric provided with fine elasticity and extensibility longitudinally and transversely, especially of a duplex brushed fabrics knitted with polyester, the breakthtough of the present invention is that by increasing spandex (also called o.p.) during knitting of the fabric and by the brandnew manufacturing process thereof, the fabric can be extended to about 1.8 to 2 times of its original lengths longitudinally and transversely, and it can be durable for water cleansing in high temperature and has the effect of keeping warm, thus is applicable in gloves, mufflers etc. with a nature of being volume reducible.
    Type: Grant
