| English term or phrase: tricot knit | 1/8 Inch Foam and Tricot
The standard backing for a marine headliner is 1/8 inch polyurethane foam
with a nylon tricot knit. The foam has acoustical properties and a soft
cushiony feel. The tricot knit supports the foam and provides a smooth,
slippery surface to slide across a plywood panel when covering, and
prevents the foam from grabbing the wood and bunching when stretching
the material. Together the foam and tricot help stabilize the xxx® in
high humidity. If a customer wants foam padding under xxx® for a
headliner application, the installer should not glue xxx® to their own
foam. Spots will form with low bond that will bubble in high humidity or too
much cement could saturate the foam resulting in thumbprinting. Majilite
uses a special process to ensure a strong bond between the foam and the
entire roll of xxx®. |
