Details
In the knitting process, machine direction and cross direction yarns are stitched together using a third yarn, creating a strong, dimensionally stable mechanical bond. Nonwoven substrates can also be inserted, creating a laminate with no possibility of delamination. These constructions can then be coated with a functional binder tailored to fit your application.
Features & Benefits:
- Dimensional stability
- Tensile strength
- Excellent bonding due to open grid construction
- Uniform appearance
Markets and Applications
- Asphalt reinforcement
- Concrete reinforcement
- Modified bitumen roofing
- Liquid applied roofing
- Drywall tape
Process:
Three different yarn sources are used to form a fabric. There are warp (machine direction) yarns, weft (cross direction) yarns and a stitch polyester yarn that is used to tie the warp and weft yarns together.
