Composite nylon and polyester woven fabric

Abstract

A ripstop woven fabric woven from a combination of nylon yarn and polyester yarn. The nylon yarn forms between 40% to 80% of the woven fabric while the polyester yarn forms between 20% to 60% of the finished woven fabric. The fabric may be woven in a ripstop pattern. The face side of the ripstop fabric may be coated with one or more of a durable water repellent (DWR) and silicone coating, while the back side of the ripstop fabric is coated with a polyurethane coating. The ripstop fabric has an uncoated fabric weight range of between 23 and 40 GSM while the ripstop fabric has a coated fabric weight range of between 29 and 50 GSM.

         7 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said ripstop composite woven fabric exhibits yarns per inch count in the weft direction in a range of between 129 to 169, and wherein said ripstop composite woven fabric exhibits yarns per inch count in the warp direction in a range of between 223 to 233. 
     
     
         8 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said ripstop composite fabric is woven on one of an air-jet loom, a water-jet loom, and a dobby loom. 
     
     
         9 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said ripstop composite woven fabric is coated on a face side and a back side of said ripstop composite woven fabric. 
     
     
         10 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 9 , wherein said face side of said ripstop composite woven fabric is coated with one or more of a durable water repellent (DWR) and silicone coating. 
     
     
         11 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 9 , wherein said ripstop composite woven fabric is coated on said back side with a polyurethane coating. 
     
     
         12 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 9 , wherein said face side of said ripstop composite woven fabric is coated with one or more of a durable water repellent (DWR) and silicone coating, and wherein said back side of said ripstop fabric is coated with a polyurethane coating. 
     
     
         13 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 1 , wherein said ripstop fabric has an uncoated fabric weight range of between 23 and 40 GSM. 
     
     
         14 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 12 , wherein said ripstop composite woven fabric has a coated fabric weight range of between 29 and 50 GSM. 
     
     
         15 . A composite woven fabric, comprising:
 nylon yarn in a percentage ranging from 40% to 80% by weight in a woven fabric, said nylon yarn configured for being woven along with at least one other yarn into said woven fabric;   polyester yarn in a percentage ranging from 20% to 60% by weight in said woven fabric, said polyester yarn configured for being woven along with at least said nylon yarn into said woven fabric;   wherein said nylon yarn and said polyester yarn are woven together into a ripstop fabric having a face side and a backside; and   wherein said face side of said ripstop fabric is coated with one or more of a durable water repellent (DWR) and silicone coating, and wherein said back side of said ripstop fabric is coated with a polyurethane coating.   
     
     
         16 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 15 , wherein said nylon yarn and said polyester yarn each exhibit a denier range of between 10 D to 50 D. 
     
     
         17 . The composite woven fabric of  claim 15 , wherein said ripstop fabric exhibits a yarns per inch count in the weft direction in a range of between 129 to 169, and wherein said ripstop fabric exhibits a yarns per inch count in the warp direction in a range of between 223 to 233.
