Method for producing plain-woven or leno-woven woven fabric

摘要

The present invention provides a method for thinning plain weave or leno weave fabric of high porosity such as cheesecloth without significantly reducing fabric strength. A method for manufacturing thinned plain weave or leno weave fabric woven with 3 warp threads/inch to 40 warp threads/inch and 3 weft threads/inch to 40 weft threads/inch, wherein said thinning is a calendering process of pressing and heating said fabric by passing same between rotating calendering rolls. The manufacturing method is characterized in that: surface temperature of at least one of the calendering rolls in contact with said fabric during said calendering process is a temperature at or above the glass transition temperature of the fiber configuring said fabric; and the mean thickness (T1) of the fabric before thinning and the mean thickness (T2) of the fabric after thinning satisfy the relationship in expression (1). 0.25 ≤ (T1-T2)/T1 (1)
