Abstract: The invention relates to a fixable nonwoven interlining material for use in the textile industry, comprising at least one melt-spun fiber layer and at least one additional fibrous material layer, the fixable interlining material being provided with an adhesive substance at least in partial regions. A particularly high elasticity of the fixable interlining material is achieved by the fact that the melt-spun fibers are composed of an elastic fibrous material, and the at least one layer of fibrous material is composed of staple fibers, and the at least one elastic melt-spun fiber layer and the at least one staple fiber layer are laid one on top of the other in the form of a flat unbonded fiber fabric, and are subsequently bonded by use of a bonding step known as such.

Abstract: The present invention relates to textile sheetlike constructions having an enhanced watertightness and also to a process for producing them. It was found that, surprisingly, the watertightness of porous textile sheetlike constructions is enhanced when a coating of hydrophobic particles having an average particle size in the range from 0.02 to 100 ?m is applied to the surfaces of the fibers. The textile sheetlike constructions can be used for example as textile building materials or for producing tents, umbrellas or the like.
