SCRIM MADE OF TWILL-WOVEN THERMOPLASTIC TAPES

摘要

An industrial-strength scrim is made of thermoplastic tapes woven together in a twill weave, in which the weft tapes cross over at least two successive warp tapes and under at least one successive warp tape, in a repeating pattern. Such weave permits more tapes per inch to be accommodated in the scrim than for a plain weave, producing a scrim having greater mechanical strength, less cramming and folding of tapes and a smoother surface with fewer voids, suitable for coating.
