A fabric includes a backing fabric having binding warp yarns, weft yarns, and pile warp yarns interlaced with the weft yarns. In a weft receiving opening, one of the weft yarns is positioned at a back side relative to a weft separating warp yarn extending in the backing fabric in the warp direction and the other weft yarn is positioned at the pile side. A pile warp yarn is interlaced with the weft yarn positioned at the back side relative to the weft separating warp yarn to extend out of the backing fabric between this weft yarn and the other weft yarn. In a transition zone, two transition weft yarns provided immediately adjacent to each other in the warp direction extending through a weft receiving opening are positioned at substantially the same level in a direction that is perpendicular with a plane defined by the warp and weft directions and/or are not separated by a weft separating warp yarn.

A sealing material reduces heat due to friction produced by contact with a rotating body. The sealing material 1 has cut pile woven fabric 3c having stripes. The sealing material 1 prevents leakage of powder 8 from rotating body or straight body 7b. The woven pile fabric 3b constituting sealing material 1 is woven pattern 3a having stripes which is woven from pile yarn 6 comprising a plurality of filaments 9, woven pattern 3a being cut pile woven fabric 3c having cut pile 4 at which pile 4 is of prescribed length, cut pile woven fabric 3c having steps 7e produced by differences in thickness of cut pile 4 including woven pattern 3e having stripes. The length of cut pile 4 of prescribed length has cut pile length 4d which is greater than the spacing of a pitch between pile supporting yarns 5 that support pile 4.
