Industrial fabric
Industrial fabric: a broad term for fabrics used for nonapparel and nondecorative uses.They fall into several classes: (1) a broad group including fabrics employed in industrial processes (e.G., Filtering, polishing, and absorption), (2) fabrics combined with other materials to produce a different type of product (e.G., Rubberized fabric for hose, belting, and tires, fabric combined with synthetic resins to be used for timing gears and electrical machinery parts, coated or enameled fabrics for automobile tops and book bindings, and fabrics impregnated with adhesive and dielectric compounds for application in the electrical industry), and (3) fabrics incorporated directly in a finished product (e.G., Sails, tarpaulins, tents, awnings, and specialty belts for agricultural machinery, airplanes, and conveyors). Fabrics developed for industrial uses cover a wide variety of widths, weights, and constructions and are attained, in many cases, only after painstaking research and experiment. Cotton and manufactured fibers are important fibers in this group, but virtually all textile fibers have industrial uses. The names mechanical fabrics or technical fabrics sometimes have been applied to certain industrial fabrics.
