Abstract
A new relining canvas allows use of traditional adhesives and offers an exceptional resistance to creep as well as high mechanical and elastic properties. Such a canvas, which was produced by the alternating use of hemp and Kevlar yarns, the latter being a synthetic fiber based on aromatic polyamides and exhibiting exceptional mechanical properties, was tested under different stress conditions for up to 5000 hours. It has been proven that, when tight, it shows negligible size variation with time. In addition to the properties of the fibers used, comparisons with other known canvas are reported.
