Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Woven fabrics are formed from high tenacity fibers or tapes that are loosely interwoven with adhesive coated filaments, to composite articles formed therefrom, and to a continuous process for forming the composite articles.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A closed, fused sheet comprising high tenacity elongate bodies interwoven and bonded with transversely disposed binding elongate bodies, said high tenacity elongate bodies comprising a thermoplastic polymer, said high tenacity elongate bodies having a tenacity of at least about 14 g/denier, wherein said high tenacity elongate bodies also have a tensile modulus of at least about 300 g/denier; and wherein said binding elongate bodies at least partially comprise a thermoplastic polymer having a melting temperature below a melting temperature of the high tenacity elongate bodies, the closed, fused sheet having substantially no gaps between adjacent high tenacity elongate bodies and wherein said adjacent high tenacity elongate bodies do not overlap.
