Das erfindungsgemäße Flächengebilde weist neben den guten optischen Eigen­ schaften und der einfachen Dessinierbarkeit auch die geschätzten guten mechani­ schen Eigenschaften und Verschleißeigenschaften eines Nadelvlies-Belags auf. Die dreidimensionale Oberflächenstruktur des erfindungsgemäßen Flächengebildes bleibt selbst bei mechanischer Beanspruchung über einen langen Zeitraum erhalten, ohne daß sich die Oberflächenstruktur bzw. das Oberflächenmuster mit der Zeit ver­ schlechtert. Dies beruht insbesondere auf der Struktur der Nadelvlies-Nutzschicht, welche miteinander verschlungene bzw. vernähte Polymerfasern aufweist, wodurch die Randbereiche des nicht geprägten Bereichs der Nadelvlies-Nutzschicht nicht ausfransen bzw. verfilzen. Im Gegensatz dazu verfilzen die Fasern an den geprägten Randbereichen eines auf ähnliche Weise aus einem schlingenlosen Veloursbelag hergestellten Flächengebildes bei mechanischer Belastung schon nach kurzer Zeit. Das erfindungsgemäße Flächengebilde ist daher im Gegensatz zu einem auf ähnliche Weise hergestellten Flächengebilde mit einer Velours-Nutzschicht für Anwen­ dungen, die eine hohe Verschleißfestigkeit erfordern, ausgezeichnet geeignet. Das erfindungsgemäße Flächengebilde eignet sich beispielsweise zur Verwendung als Bodenbelag, Wandbelag oder als Sitzbezug für Möbel. Die dreidimensionale Ober­ flächenstruktur des erfindungsgemäßen Flächengebildes bleibt überraschenderwei­ se sogar nach einer starken Beanspruchung durch einen Stuhlbein- und Stuhlrol­ lentest erhalten, so daß sich das erfindungsgemäße Flächengebilde beispielsweise ausgezeichnet als Fußbodenbelag für Büro- und Wohnräume eignet.The sheetlike structure according to the invention has good optical properties and the easy designability also the valued good mechani properties and wear properties of a needle felt covering. The three-dimensional surface structure of the fabric according to the invention is retained over a long period of time even under mechanical stress, without the surface structure or surface pattern changing over time deteriorated. This is based in particular on the structure of the needle fleece wear layer, which has intertwined or sewn polymer fibers, whereby the edge areas of the non-embossed area of the needle fleece wear layer are not fray or felt. In contrast, the fibers matt on the embossed Edge areas of a looped suede covering in a similar way manufactured fabric under mechanical load after a short time. The fabric according to the invention is therefore in contrast to a similar one  Fabric made in this way with a velor wear layer for users Applications that require high wear resistance are excellently suited. The The sheet according to the invention is suitable, for example, for use as Flooring, wall covering or as a seat cover for furniture. The three-dimensional upper The surface structure of the fabric according to the invention remains surprisingly even after heavy use of a chair leg and chair roller lentest obtained so that the fabric according to the invention, for example Excellent as a floor covering for office and living rooms.
