Layered elastomeric fabric and process for making

摘要

Provided is a process comprising contacting a spun-bonded polypropylene fabric with a layer of fibers that are not polypropylene, point-bonding the layers together to form a bonded layered fabric, exposing the bonded layered fabric to heat under suitable conditions followed by cooling to form a layered elastomeric fabric, the bonded layered fabric being disposed in a manner to permit free-shrinkage in at least one dimension to occur during at least a portion of the heating, and wherein the point-bonds in the bonded layered fabric comprise 5-60% of the total fabric area. A layered elastomeric fabric produced by the process and textile products made of the layered elastomeric fabric are also provided.
