Plain
Is one of the most simple weave patterns.
The warp and filling threads cross alternately.
Plain-woven fabrics are generally the least
pliable, but they are the most stable. Characteristics;
high particle retention and low resistance
to blinding with average cake release properties. |

Twill
Is a weave characterized by a diagonal rib,
or twill line. Each warp floats over at
least two or more consecutive fill yarns,
enabling a greater number of yarns per unit
area than a plain weave, while not losing
a great deal of fabric stability. Characteristics;
average resistance to blinding, average
cake release, good mechanical strength. |

Basket
A variation of the plain weave where two
or more warp yarns cross alternately with
two or more filling yarns, resembling a
plaited basket. This weave is more pliable
and stronger than a plain weave, but is
looser and not as stable. The basket weave
is typically used for backing cloth and
basic filtration applications. |

Leno
The leno weave is a locking type weave in
which two or more warp threads cross over
each other and interlace with one or more
filling threads. It is used primarily to
prevent shifting of fibers in open weave
fabrics and only for backing (support) cloths.

Satin
The face of the fabric consists almost completely
of warp produced in the repeat of the weave.
This is the most flexible of weave patterns
and conforms very easily around most contoured
surfaces. Satin weaves are usually four,
five, eight, or twelve harness. Characteristics;
excellent cake release, average retention,
excellent resistance to blinding. |
