Not sure on the 1700 , 1 mm is .039 " so thickness?  And 45 could be the cross weave?

Do you have more info?
To me it seems like dimensions in millimeters. 45 is the width ~1 3/4”
1700 has to be the length ~67”

The 17 is 17oz/yd fabric. The 45 is the orientation of the fibers and the mm is the thickness.
Don't quote me on that!
