Bei einem hervorstehende aktive Elemente tragenden Flächenmaterial, bei welchem die Elemente aus Filamenten gebildet sind, die von Ankerfilamenten gehalten werden, ist zumindest ein Teil der Ankerfilamente bandartig ausgebildet und mit einer Folie verbunden, so dass die Verbindung aus Folie und textilem, hervorstehende aktive Elemente tragenden Flächenmaterial nicht zu einer Versteifung des Flächenmaterials führt.Projecting active elements-carrying sheet material comprises: elements formed from filaments, which are held by anchor filaments or forfeited with the anchor filaments, and comprise a first material, where at least a portion of the anchor filaments is formed as band-like, comprises a second material, and is connected with a film via a connection different from fused connection or by extruding the film, where the anchor filaments cover more than 50% of the surface dimension of the sheet material and a knitted fabric connected with the film. Projecting active elements-carrying sheet material, comprises: elements formed from filaments, which are held by anchor filaments or forfeited with the anchor filaments, and comprise a first material, where at least a portion of the anchor filaments is formed as band-like, comprises a second material, and is connected with a film via a connection different from fused connection or by extruding the film, where the anchor filaments cover more than 50% of the surface dimension of the sheet material a knitted fabric connected with the film, where the elasticity of the sheet material is up to 10% below the elasticity of the knitted fabric. An independent claim is also included for producing the sheet material comprising extruding the film on a side of a textile sheet material-carrying the projecting active elements.
