Woven material of inorganic fiber and process for making the same

In a woven material of inorganic fiber used for reinforcing various kinds of resin and obtained by weaving inorganic fibers, wherein each of the warps and wefts constituting said woven material are band-like and comprises a continuous filament yarn, having a number of twisted continuous filaments, said warps and wefts having been substantially uniformly loosened and opened widthwise relative to their originally woven form at the exposed surface of said woven material by the effect of pressurized jets of water, from a plurality of nozzles, having been impinged on the woven material, so that the distance between said filaments has been widened to facilitate uniform impregnation of said woven material with resin, and wherein said warps and wefts are raised due to some of said continuous filaments having been broken and damaged.
