SELF-COATING COMPOSITE STABILIZING YARN

摘要

A self-coating stabilizing yarn for use with conventional effect yarns in the construction of outdoor fabrics. The self-coating yarn includes a low melt constituent and a high melt constituent. After being woven with the effect yarns and exposed to a pre-selected heating temperature, the low melt constituent melts, flows through the fibers or filaments of the stabilizing yarns and onto the adjacent effect yarn, thus firming bonds and stabilizing and strengthening both the stabilizing yarns, the effect yarns, and the resulting fabric.
