MONOFILAMENTS WITH HIGH ABRASION AND SHAPE STABILITY, LOW SLIDING FRICTION AND PROPENSITY TOWARDS SOILING, TEXTILE PLANAR STRUCTURES CONTAINING THE SAME, AND THE USE OF SAME

摘要

Monofilaments comprising particles of polysiloxane from 10 nm to 200 μm in diameter in a matrix of thermoplastic polymer are provided. The monofilaments are useful in the manufacture of papermachine clothings in particular and are notable for abrasion resistance, dimensional stability, glideability and soiling resistance.
