'Transverse stretch stretch fabric, disposable medical or hygiene article and method for forming stretch stretch fabric'

摘要

Disclosed herein are stretchable elastic fabrics prepared by substantially uniformly impregnating a consolidated warp knit fabric with an elastomeric polymer by treatment with an elastomeric polymer solution. The resulting fabrics exhibit considerable elongation in the cross-direction with little or no machine-direction elongation. Such stretchable elastic fabrics are useful in medical and personal hygiene articles as well as in apparel applications.
