Abstract: Provided is a woven, patterned glass fiber textile comprised of a warp yarn having a titer in the range of from 155 to 300 tex, and a weft yarn having a titer in the range of about 68 to 660 tex. The resulting textile fabric is aesthetically pleasing, and finds excellent applicability as a wallcovering.

Abstract: Provided is a woven, patterned glass fiber textile comprised of a warp yarn having a titer in the range of from 10 to 125 tex, and a weft yarn having a titer in the range of about 68 to 660 tex. The resulting textile fabric is aesthetically pleasing, and finds excellent applicability as a wallcovering.

Abstract: Provided is a woven, glass textile fabric comprised of glass sliver in the weft or cross direction and air texturized glass yarn in the machine direction having a titer of from 60 to 80 tex. The resulting fabric is aesthetically pleasing in appearance, strong, yet lightweight. The fabric finds excellent applicability as a wall covering.

Abstract: Provided is a woven, glass textile fabric comprised of glass sliver in the weft or cross direction and air texturized glass yarn in the machine direction having a titer of from 20 to 80 tex. The resulting fabric is aesthetically pleasing in appearance, strong, yet lightweight. The fabric finds excellent applicability as a wall covering.

Abstract: A process and apparatus are provided for the manufacture of a composite fibrous strand comprising glass fibers. Glass fibers and an additive fibrous material (e.g., thermoplastic polymeric fibers) are each introduced separately into a substantially rotationally symmetric zone that is closed circumferentially except for a longitudinal introduction locale. The glass fibers and the fibers of the additive fibrous material are subjected to a vortex to form a homogeneous composite fibrous strand. Good admixture of the fibrous components is made possible thereby facilitating the ultimate production of composite articles wherein the glass fibers are disposed as reinforcement in a highly uniform manner. Such homogeneity and uniformity provides improved mechanical properties to the end user.
