Fabric with a base of non-woven fabric strips

Abstract

A textile product is described which is composed of a weft and a warp, in which the weft and/or the warp are composed of strips of non-woven fabric. This product is applied in the production of cloths for cleaning floors, dusters, napkins, bedspreads, couch covers, cushion covers, car seat covers, doormats, etc. The strips of non-woven fabric are preferably composed of hydroentangled or thermobonded fibres, and with a base of materials such as viscose, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyamide, cellulose pulp. The invention also includes mixed textile products, in which non-woven products are combined with materials other than non-woven such as wool, silk, synthetic fibres, etc. This method is advantageously, though not exclusively, suited for recycling even waste materials derived from the processing of non-woven fabric.
