Abstract
The present invention relates to a layered fabric which is a laminate formed from a substrate layer of woven filamentary plastics material and having a first exterior layer of thermoplastic polymer. A second exterior layer of thermoplastic polymer is secured to the substrate, opposite the first exterior layer by means of a hot melt coat positioned in between the substrate and the second exterior layer. The hot melt coat is a thermoplastic polymer. The thermoplastic polymers include polypropylene and polyethylene. Low density polyethylene is preferred. The filamentary material can be a polyolefin, a polyester or nylon but tapes of high density polyethylene are preferred. A method of forming the layered fabric and liquid containment vessels, such as hoses, fabricated from the fabric are also disclosed.
