Abstract

A heat-shrinkable planar textile material with a plurality of yarn systems forming the planar textile material, wherein the planar textile material having at least one heat-shrinkable plastic yarn. The planar textile material is suitable for producing furniture elements, especially seating furniture elements, preferably backrests and/or seat elements, decorative elements, hollow channels, automotive accessories, and the like, wherein the heat-shrinkable planar textile material can be mounted on a carrier structure and then heat shrunk.

Claims (10)

1. A planar textile material in the form of a textile fabric with a plurality of yarn systems forming the planar textile material, the planar textile material in the form of the textile fabric comprising a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads, wherein the planar textile material comprises:

1 to 60 wt % , relative to the planar textile material, of at least one heat-shrinkable plastic yarn, the heat shrinkable plastic yarn having a titer of 100 to 3,000 dtex, a tenacity of 10 to 120 cN/tex, at a temperature of 10 to 100 degrees C., a heat-shrinkage of 5 to 50%, relative to the length of the plastic yarn in the non-shrunk state and at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C., a shrinkage force of 100 to 1,000 cN, at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C., a shrinkage tension of 0.5 to 10 cN/tex, at a temperature of 140 to 240 degrees C.; and

wherein the planar textile material further comprises at least 5 wt%, relative to the planar textile material, of an elastomeric or rubber portion in the form of elastomeric or rubber threads, yarns, or filaments.

2. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-shrinkable plastic yarn is constructed as a monofilament.

3. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-shrinkable plastic yarn having a diameter of 0.05 to 1 mm in a non-shrunk state.

4. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-shrinkable plastic yam features a polyester based on phthalate.

5. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the heat-shrinkable plastic yarn features heat shrinkage of 1 to 30% relative to the length in the non-shrunk state and at a temperature of 60 to 140° C.

6. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the planar textile material is formed as a textile fabric with yarn systems with a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads, wherein the planar textile material in the form of a textile fabric has shrinking weft threads, which contain the heat-shrinkable plastic yarn.

7. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the planar textile material is formed as a textile fabric with yarn systems with a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads, wherein the planar textile material in the form of a textile fabric has shrinking warp threads, which contain the heat-shrinkable plastic yarn.

8. The planar textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the planar textile material is formed as a textile fabric with yarn systems with a plurality of weft threads and a plurality of warp threads, wherein the planar textile material in the form of a textile fabric has shrinking weft threads and shrinking warp threads, which each contain heat-shrinkable plastic yarn.
