MUMEROUS examples of applications for Courtaulds synthetic fibres and I 11 materials were seen at the recent " Courtaulds in Transport" exhibition. Among the materials was Duracour, a furnishing fabric produced by Courlak, Ltd., Cheapside House, Cheapside, London, E.C.2.
It was shown as the seat covering material in a car and was employed for this purpose and for the interior trim of a Duple-bodied coach. The material is attractive, is stated to stand up well to abrasion and resist s staining and burning. When it does get dirty it can be sponged clean without difficulty. These attributes are achieved by a new type of face-finish. The material has good resistance to fading as it is produced from spun-dyed yarns.
