Abstract
A heat-shrinkable planar textile material with a plurality of yarn systems forming the planar textile material, wherein the planar textile material having at least one heat-shrinkable plastic yarn. The planar textile material is suitable for producing furniture elements, especially seating furniture elements, preferably backrests and/or seat elements, decorative elements, hollow channels, automotive accessories, and the like, wherein the heat-shrinkable planar textile material can be mounted on a carrier structure and then heat shrunk.
Claims8
A planar textile material in the form of a textile fabric with a plurality of yarn systems forming the planar textile material, the planar textile material in the form of the textile fabric comprising a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads, wherein the planar textile material comprises:
- 1 to 60 wt % , relative to the planar textile material, of at least one heat-shrinkable plastic yarn, the heat shrinkable plastic yarn having a titer of 100 to 3,000 dtex, a tenacity of 10 to 120 cN/tex, at a temperature of 10 to 100 degrees C., a heat-shrinkage of 5 to 50%, relative to the length of the plastic yarn in the non-shrunk state and at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C., a shrinkage force of 100 to 1,000 cN, at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C., a shrinkage tension of 0.5 to 10 cN/tex, at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C.;
- and
- wherein the planar textile material further comprises at least 5 wt%, relative to the planar textile material, of an elastomeric or rubber portion in the form of elastomeric or rubber threads, yarns, or filaments.
