Abstract
An abrasion-resistant material includes a first layer including a first textile material and a second layer including a second textile material. The second layer is arranged on the first layer, wherein the first layer and the second layer are at least partially heat bonded to each other. The first textile material exhibits a first shrinkability and the second textile material exhibits a second shrinkability, wherein the first shrinkability is greater than the second shrinkability, when at least partially heat bonding the first layer and the second layer.
Claims15
A method of manufacturing an abrasion-resistant material, the method comprising:
- providing a first layer comprising a first textile material;
- providing a second layer comprising a second textile material;
- arranging the second layer on the first layer;
- and
- heat bonding the first layer and the second layer at least partially to each other such that the heat bonding activates a first shrinkability of the first textile material and a second shrinkability of the second textile material, wherein the heat bonding causes shrinking of the first layer or the second layer;
- wherein the first textile material exhibits the first shrinkability during the heat bonding and the second textile material exhibits the second shrinkability during the heat bonding, wherein the first shrinkability is greater than the second shrinkability, when at least partially heat bonding the first layer and the second layer, and wherein at least one selected from a group consisting of the first material and the second material is a woven fabric;
- and
- wherein the second layer is formed as a mesh having a mesh size, wherein the mesh is arranged in a lattice structure defining openings that are larger than the mesh size.
A method of manufacturing an abrasion-resistant material, the method comprising:
- providing a first layer comprising a first textile material;
- providing a second layer comprising a second textile material;
- arranging the second layer on the first layer;
- and
- heat bonding the first layer and the second layer at least partially to each other such that the heat bonding activates a first shrinkability of the first textile material and a second shrinkability of the second textile material, wherein the heat bonding causes shrinking of the first layer or the second layer;
- wherein the first textile material exhibits the first shrinkability during the heat bonding and the second textile material exhibits the second shrinkability during the heat bonding, wherein the first shrinkability is greater than the second shrinkability, when at least partially heat bonding the first layer and the second layer, and wherein at least one selected from a group consisting of the first material and the second material is a knitted fabric;
- and
- wherein the second layer is formed as a mesh having a mesh size, wherein the mesh is arranged in a lattice structure defining openings that are larger than the mesh size.
