A flexible composite that can be set to become rigid or semi-rigid includes a first layer and a second layer opposing the first layer and separated from the first layer by a space. A fill material capable of setting to a rigid or semi-rigid solid is located in the space. A plurality of elements extend substantially into the space from the first layer and/or the second layer and which may pass through the opposing layer or join with other elements present in the space from an opposing layer, thereby forming linking elements for joining the layers together. The unset fill material is provided in the space at a pressure such that tension is applied one or more of the linking elements and to cause the first and/or second layers to bulge outwards relative to the longitudinal length of said one or more linking elements under tension.

A knitted spacer fabric has a tightly knitted bottom layer, a more loosely knitted upper layer and linking fibres extending across the space between the lower and upper faces. Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liquid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer has an extension that extends beyond the upper face and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.

The composite can include a high loft non-woven layer having bulking fibers and a binding material; a cured rigid or semi-rigid solid located in the high loft non-woven; a filter layer on a first face of the high loft non-woven layer; and a liquid barrier layer on a second face of the high loft non-woven layer. The liquid barrier layer may have a difference in in-plane stiffness as set forth herein. The distance between the first face and second face of the high loft non-woven layer may not vary by more than a certain localized distance across the high loft non-woven layer when the high loft non-woven layer is in a flat state or has a radius of curvature of not less than the thickness of the non-woven layer as set forth herein.

A knitted spacer fabric has a tightly knitted bottom layer, a more loosely knitted upper layer and linking fibers extending across the space between the lower and upper faces. Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liquid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer has an extension that extends beyond the upper face and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibers that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.

The invention provides a knitted spacer fabric having a tightly knitted bottom layer (10), a more loosely knitted upper layer (12) and linking fibres (14) extending across the space (16) between the lower and upper faces (10,12). Settable material, e.g. cement, is introduced into the space (16) between the upper and lower faces and can be caused to set by the addition of a liquid, e.g. water. Until set, the fabric is flexible and can be shaped but after the material in space (16) has set, the fabric is rigid and can be used as a structural element in a wide range of situations. The bottom layer (10) has an extension (24) that extends beyond the upper face (12) and is connected to the upper face by elastic connecting fibres (26) that draw the extension towards the other face, thereby at least partly closing the space at the edge of the cloth and preventing the settable material from spilling out. In addition, the packing of the settable material and maximum space between the faces are such that only a predetermined amount of liquid can be accommodated within the space and that amount is matched to the water required to set the cement.
