Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to the provision of a filling material such as an inorganic filler in the felt, especially a needled felt. The resulting felt material is formed into a tube for use in a passageway lining process in which the felt material is soaked in a curable resin. The purpose of the filling material is to reduce the quantity of resin required to impregnate the felt, thereby to reduce the cost of the process.
