Textile composite material comprising activated carbon fibres and production thereof

Textile sheetlike structure for protection against biological and chemical noxiants and poisons such as biological and chemical warfare agents and the like, said sheetlike structure comprising:

• a textile support layer and a first sheetlike piece made of activated carbon fibres, said first sheetlike piece being laminated onto said support layer;
• wherein said sheetlike structure further comprises a second sheetlike piece made of activated carbon fibres, said second sheetlike piece being laminated onto said support layer such that edges of said two sheetlike pieces touch and/or overlap;
• wherein said two sheetlike pieces are joined together seamlessly to said support layer;
• wherein said two sheetlike pieces made of activated carbon fibres are laminated onto said support layer by adhering;
• wherein said first and/or second sheetlike pieces made of activated carbon fibres are selected from the group consisting of a textile woven, a fabric, a cloth, a non-woven, a knitted fabric, a piece of hosiery, a knit, a non-woven scrim, a batt and a textile composite material, each composed of activated carbon fibres;
• and
• wherein, in addition, a textile covering layer is laminated onto those sides of said first and second sheetlike pieces made of activated carbon fibres which are opposite said support layer, said two sheetlike pieces made of activated carbon fibres being adhered to said covering layer by an adhesive applied in discontinuous manner in the form of non-cohering dots of adhesive such that said two sheetlike pieces made of activated carbon fibres are additionally joined together by said covering layer.
