Abstract
A multi-layer woven scrim, having two or more layers made of thermoplastic tapes, has its layers attached together by means of layer-connecting tapes interwoven with mutually perpendicular tapes of adjacent layers. The points of attachment may be at spaced intervals and in the machine or cross-machine directions. The scrim is flexible, dimensionally stable and has high tensile and tear strength. It can be coated and used as an industrial fabric.

- and
- (c) a plurality of layer-connecting lines of attachment, generally parallel to said first sets of tapes, said lines of attachment each comprising at least one layer-connecting tape, said layer-connecting tape being interwoven with tapes of said second set of tapes of said first layer and with tapes of said second set of tapes of said second layer so as to attach said first layer to said second layer, each said line of attachment being separated from an adjacent said line of attachment by at least four tapes of said first sets of tapes.
