2. Strapping - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strapping

   Composite strapping has polyester filaments embedded longitudinally down the length of the strap that provides the tensile strength. These polyester yarn fibers are embedded within a polypropylene coating. The polypropylene provides foam to the strap, but also improves the non-slip characteristic when combined with the wire buckle.

3. Calendering (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendering_(textiles)

   Fabrics that go through the calendering process feel thin, glossy and papery. [ 2 ] The wash durability of a calendered finish on thermoplastic fibers like polyester is higher than on cellulose fibers such as cotton , though each depends on the amount and type of finishing additives used and the machinery and process conditions employed.

   The fabrics can then be sheared or embossed to resemble fur even more closely. The heat-sensitivity of modacrylic also allows wigs and hairpieces to be curled and heat styled without damage. [3] Modacrylics are also used in fleece, knit-pile fabric backings, and nonwoven fabrics.

5. Blend (textile) - Wikipedia

   Polyester-cotton blended clothing is more comfortable to wear in humid climates than polyester alone. [ 1 ] : 79 A heavy pair of jeans made of 100% cotton that weigh 14 oz (396.9 g) can be cut down to 11 oz (311.8 g), without compromising durability, by changing the composition to a blend of polyester 50% with cotton or nylon 20%.

6. Finishing (textiles) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finishing_(textiles)

   Mercerisation makes the woven cotton fabric stronger, more lustrous, and less abrasive, and improves its dye affinity. Raising lifts the surface fibers to improve the softness and warmth, as in flannelette. Peach Finish subjects the fabric (either cotton or its synthetic blends) to emery wheels, making the surface velvet-like. This is a special ...

7. Filament tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filament_tape

   Filament tape used to mend a model airplane. Filament tape or strapping tape is a pressure-sensitive tape consisting of a pressure-sensitive adhesive coated onto a backing material which is usually a polypropylene or polyester film and fiberglass filaments embedded to add high tensile strength.
