Abstract of EP 2034088
(A1)
The present invention provides a fabric
and a fabric structure made of yarns with reduced water absorption. The fabric
comprises yarns and interstices between the yarns, the interstices between the
yarns having an average width of greater than 100[mu]m. At least one of the
yarns is comprised of multiple fibers. Said at least one yarn has voids between
the fibers wherein the voids are filled up with a polymer material. The
interstices remain open and the size of the interstices is the same as before
the treatment. The filling of the voids between the fibers with the polymer material
prevents the absorption of water into said voids and therefore leads to reduced
water absorption of the fabric. The polymer material is substantially only
located within the voids of the yarn and has embedded the fibers within the
outer surface of said yarn.
