- Abstract
Leno fabrics are used as reinforcement material in several applications in the building industry. As the twist of conventional leno fabrics is limited to 180°, mesh sizes larger than a few millimeters are only feasible by adding a coating to resist fiber dislocation. In order to overcome this technological limitation, a new leno fabric technology based on propellers for the shed formation was developed by Gebr. Klöcker GmbH, Borken/Germany, and the Institute for Textile Technology of the RWTH Aachen University (ITA). With this technology, any number of twists is possible. Within first tests a high productivity compared to conventional leno fabric technologies was proved and examinations concerning the effect of the twists on the resistance to fiber displacement were accomplished.
