The invention relates woven and knit materials with an incorporated particulate
solid and to a process for producing woven materials incorporated with a particulate
solid. The process comprises: entraining a particulate solid in a gaseous carrier;
disposing one face of a woven material in the path of a stream of said gaseous
carrier and entrained particulate solid; maintaining a pressure drop across the
woven material from said one face to the other face of said material, thereby to
obtain a woven material with at least some of the entrained particulate solid in
the gaseous carrier; and fixing the incorporated particulate solid.
