Title:
WOVEN/KNITTED FABRIC REDUCING ITS POROSITY WHEN WETTED, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING THE SAME, AND RELATED TEXTILE PRODUCT
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2006118062
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:

To provide a woven/knitted fabric comprising crimped fibers reducing the crimp percentage when wetted and noncrimped fibers or crimped fibers substantially retaining the crimp percentage when wetted, with the fabric's porosity when wetted reducing reversibly compared to the case when dried, and to provide a method for producing the fabric, and to provide related textile products.

The woven/knitted fabric comprises crimped fibers A reducing the crimp percentage when wetted and noncrimped fibers B or crimped fibers B substantially retaining the crimp percentage when wetted. In this woven/knited fabric, the difference:DCf-HCf is ≥10%( wherein, DCf(%) is the crimp percentage of the fiber A when dried, extracted from the fabric, and HCf(%) is the crimp percentage when wetted ), and the average value RA(%) for RP(%) and RF(%) is ≤5%( wherein, RP(%) is the rate of the dimensional change of the fabric in the warp direction for its wetted state and dried state, and RF(%) is the rate of the dimensional change in the weft direction for its wetted state and dried state ).
