ABSTRACT:
The stretchable and water resistant laminated fabric composition comprises two layers of stretchable fabrics bonded together by a heat activated adhesive comprising a urethane polymer suspended in a toluene containing solvent, in a proportion of about 40% by weight of urethane polymer. Such an adhesive leaves stretchability properties of the fabrics of the layers substantially intact and provides a water resistant bond between said layers. The process for making the laminated fabric composition comprises the steps of: selecting two pieces of fabrics having given stretchability properties; coating at least one of the pieces with the adhesive; lying each coated piece in a ventilated atmosphere until the solvent in the adhesive is substantially evaporated; assembling and pressing both pieces of fabrics together for producing the laminated fabric composition; and lying the assembled laminated fabric composition in a temperate atmosphere for a predetermined period of time until the urethane polymer is substantially polymerized. The process may comprises, after the step of assembling and pressing, the additional steps of: heating the laminated fabric composition at a predetermined heating temperature; and molding the laminated fabric composition for producing a three-dimensional shaping. The fabric composition is particularly useful for making swimsuits.
