Description
[Swiss Silk Bolting Cloth Manufacturing Co, Zurich] A trademark for a sheer, lightweight, open weave, polyester fabric. Stabiltex is used as a support backing for covering fragile textiles. In many applications, it is being used instead of silk Crepeline. As of 2004, the production of Stabiltex has been discontinued. An alternate product, Tetex TR, is supplied as a replacement.
