14562993 A description the base cloth consists mainly of cotton the cotton fibers may be mixed with fibers of a different type in particular cellulose fibers viscose linen ramie and the like or even synthetic fibers such as polyamide polyester or poly propylene in particular in order to improve the mechanical properties of the cloth the length of these fibers may be the same as or different from that of the cotton fibers the base cloth based on cotton fibers has a weight of between 30 and 300 g m 2 it has been observed that if this weight is less than 30 g m 2 the cloth or more accurately the fleece has few bonds and little coherence and is difficult to handle and to interlace by jets of water similarly if the weight exceeds 300 g m 2 the process lacks economic interest it has been observed that good results were obtained with base cloths having a weight of between 30 and 100 g m 2 the interlacing by a jet of water under pressure is carried out in a known manner pressure between 30 and 250 bars the jets being directed at one or both sides of the base cloth draining of the free water contained in the wet interlaced cloth is carried out by padding or suction all of the free water.
