CA 2173227

The present invention provides an article, comprising: a fabric sheet which has been compacted using a heat shrink yarn; and a curable or hardenable resin coated onto the fabric sheet. The present invention involves compacting a fabric sheet to impart stretchability and conformability to the fabric while minimizing undersirable recovery forces. Suitable fabrics for compacting are fabrics which comprise fiberglass fibers which are capable of first being compacted and then being heat set or annealed in the compacted state. The article may be in the form of an orthopedic bandage and may optionally contain a microfiber filler associated with the resin.

La présente invention concerne un article se composant d'une feuille de tissu compactée par utilisation d'un filé thermorétrécissable, et d'une résine réparable ou durcissable appliquée sur le tissu. La présente invention concerne également le compactage du tissu qui lui confère extensibilité et formabilité tout en minimisant les forces indésirables de redressement. Ces tissus compactables, qui sont à base de fibre de verre, sont susceptibles d'être d'abord compactés puis thermoformés ou de subir un recuit de restauration rétablissant l'état compact. L'article peut avoir la forme d'un pansement orthopédique, et peut, en option, contenir un rembourrage de microfibres associé à la résine.
