Elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric

Abstract

An elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric is made of fine count polypropylene fibers with fine denier counts. The elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric has a texture designed on the basis of elastic features and is woven with a high speed circular knitting machine and then treated in a finishing process. Such polypropylene wet suit fabric is laminated with an artificial rubber sponge in a laminating process and then made to be a polypropylene wet suit fabric piece with high elasticity, low modulus, better flushing capability and high dye fast grade at a special elasticity-processing stage. The laminated polypropylene wet suit fabric piece is suitable for the production of wet suits and other related products. The polypropylene wet suit fabric of the present invention is better in elasticity than conventional single-directional and low-elastic wet suit fabric, and capable to improve the comfort, flushing capability and dye fast grade of wet suits.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . An elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric made by laminating a polypropylene wet suit fabric with an artificial rubber sponge in a laminating process, comprising: 
 a polypropylene wet suit fabric made of fine count polypropylene fibers with fine denier counts, having a texture designed on the basis of elastic features, woven with a high speed circular knitting machine and treated in a finishing process, yarns made of a polypropylene fibers with a primary color and a specification below 10 deniers being used for a knitting process, said polypropylene wet suit fabric having a plain weave, a gram/yard ratio of 100 to 250 g/yd and a breadth between 54 and 60 inches, after being fined, shaped and otherwise treated in said process, a gray cloth of the polypropylene fabric being readjusted to be 100 to 250 in the gram/yard ratio and 54 to 60 inches in the breadth to acquire a polypropylene wet suit fabric with high elasticity; and    a laminated artificial rubber sponge the thickness of which is variable and on which the polypropylene fabric is laminated, a blender being applied to a laminating surface of the polypropylene fabric to form a laminated polypropylene fabric piece, which is then made to be a polypropylene wet suit fabric piece with high elasticity at a special elasticity-processing stage.    
     
     
         2 . The elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the artificial rubber sponge is laminated on one single side with the polypropylene fabric in said laminating process.  
     
     
         3 . The elastic polypropylene wet suit fabric as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the artificial rubber sponge is laminated on both sides with the polypropylene fabric in said laminating process.
