Extruded Textiles
This invention relates to the field of textiles. In particular, it relates to textiles wherein a polymeric "plastic" layer is bonded to a fabric substrate, and the plastic layer is in the form of a foamed matrix.
In the production of plastic coated textiles, the product has customarily been made by one of the following alternate procedures:
1) casting a molten plastic layer onto a fabric carrier;
2) bonding a pre-formed plastic layer onto a fabric carrier by calendaring and/or use of adhesives; and
3) extruding a molten plastic layer onto a fabric carrier.
