What is Fabric reinforcement?

• When two or more layers of fabric are vulcanized
  into rubber at certain points it is referred to
  as fabric reinforcement. The fabrics used are
  polyester, rayon and fiberglass. There are
  different types of reinforcement that is based on
  the type of polymer and where it is going to be
  used. 
• The benefits of fabric reinforcement are the
  following
• Improved dimensional stability
• Better mechanical strength
• Lower deflection 
• When you need specific characteristics for your
  rubber sheeting application, you have to choose
  the right fabric. It will decide how your final
  outcome would be. For instance, using cotton
  fabric for an application where you need to seal
  a liquid is not appropriate because cotton would
  draw the liquid

  fabric that conducts electricity in an
  application for electrical insulation. The same
  applies for a flammable fabric for a
  flame-retardant application. 
• So, if you want to get fabric reinforced
  hoses manufactured you must keep its application
  in mind. A trusted manufacturer would be better
  whether you require fabric reinforced sheets, or
  sponge-rubber molding, rubber to metal bonding.
  An experienced manufacturer would also have the
  best knowledge regarding the elements of
  a rubber-metal bond. 
• Fabric reinforcement of rubber involves
  vulcanization of fabric into rubber. The type of
  fabric to be used depends on the nature of the
  application.
