  • the glass yarn of the interlacing nozzle is fed faster than the polyethylene terephthalate yarn (25% Excess supply).
  • the polyester yarn has a melting point of 250 ° C.
  • the swirled hybrid yarn obtained has a total titer of 3200 dtex, the opening length, measured with the ITEMAT device, is 19 mm.
  • a textured multifilament high-modulus aramid yarn from dtex 220f200 dtex with a crimp of 35% and a multifilament yarn made from polyethylene terephthalate - yarn with a titer of 3x dtex 110f128 are fed together to a swirl nozzle, in which they are swirled by a stream of compressed air.
  • the aramid yarn and the polyethylene terephthalate yarn are fed to the intermingling nozzle at approximately the same speed.
  • the polyester yarn has a melting point of 250 ° C.
  • the swirled hybrid yarn obtained has a total titer of 630 dtex, the opening length, measured with the ITEMAT device, is 21 mm.
  • a fabric with a plain weave is made from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 1.
  • the thread density in the warp is 7.4, in the weft 8.2 threads per cm.
  • This fabric (semi-finished product) has good permanent deformability. The possible increase in area when deforming is about 30%.
  • a fabric with practically the same properties can be obtained from the hybrid yarn produced according to Example 2.
  • a semifinished product II produced according to Example 3 is drawn into a fender mold and heated to 280 ° C. for 3 minutes. After cooling to about 80 ° C., the raw molded fender body can be removed from the deep-drawing mold.
  • the fiber-reinforced thermoplastic molded body obtained has excellent strength. The reinforcement filaments are very evenly distributed and largely stretched.
  • the molded body is finished by trimming, smoothing and painting.
