Product description
The submitted sample, designated as design 10007, is a bonded fabric consisting of a dyed warp knit face fabric composed of 100% polyester laminated to a 100% polyester weft knit looped pile backing fabric. The face fabric and the backing fabric have been laminated together by means of a layer of cellular plastic that is visible in cross section. The face fabric is characterized by a dense fibrous surface that has been created by brushing the fabric. It weighs approximately 158 g/m2. The backing fabric is an unbleached fabric that has been brushed on the looped pile side. The backing fabric weighs approximately 236 g/m2. By laminating the brushed pile backing fabric to the face fabric, the face fabric has been caused to dimple creating a bumpy irregular surface. The bonded three layer fabric consisting of the face fabric, a core of cellular plastic and the backing fabric will be imported in 140 centimeter widths. Your correspondence indicates that this product will be used as an upholstery fabric
