Abstract

Core-sheath monofilaments with the following structure :(A) a (co)polyester (X) core with m.pt. 165-290 (220-240) degrees C and comprising ≥ 70 mol.% aromatic dicarboxylic acids (C) and aliphatic diols (D) (w.r.t. all polyester units) and NOTGREATER 30 mol.% other dicarboxylic acids (C1), arylaliphatic dicarboxylic acids (C2) with NOTLESS 1 (1-2) (non-)condensed aromatic rings or 4-12 (6-10) C acyclic aliphatic dicarboxylic acids (C3) and other aliphatic diols (D1), 3-10 (3-6) C branched and/or long chain diols (D2), cyclic diols (D3), ether diols (D4) or even a v. small amt. of polyglycol (D5) having mol. wt. 500-2000 ; and (B) a sheath comprising a thermoplastic polyester (Y) with m.pt. 165-240 (220-240) degrees C, thermoplastic elastomer PU (Z) and opt. standard non-polymer additives. Also claimed are: (i) prepn. of the yarns; (ii) high mechanical and chemical resistance textiles, paper machine wires, spiral fabrics, screen printing blankets, industrial filter cloths and conveyor belts contg. these yarns; and (iii) use of the yarns for making these textile prods.
