REINFORCED FABRICS

摘要

A reinforced fabric comprising one or more layers of fabric material backed by or sandwiching one or more yarn-based scrims wherein the or each scrim is a non-woven scrim is described. Non-woven scrims are stronger in the plane of the fabric and more simple to manufacture than woven scrims. Such fabrics are suitable for use as filtering felts. A process for preparing reinforced fabrics is also described. The scrim(s) for the process may be made on-line.
