Abstract: A ribbon yarn having an upper side and a lower side, filaments and at least one binder material, the binder material binding the filaments to one another and the upper side and/or the lower side of the ribbon yarn having a pressure-sensitive adhesive. The filaments of the ribbon yarn can consist only of one material or of different materials and they can be arranged in one layer or in multiple layers. The pressure-sensitive adhesive can be applied on the upper side and/or lower side of the ribbon yarn or can be a constituent of the binder material.

Abstract: A method for producing filaments from polyester waste, having the steps of mechanically comminuting the polyester waste, post-condensing the comminuted polyester waste in the solid phase, melting the post-condensed polyester waste and extruding the melt in order to form filaments. Prior to carrying out the melting step for extrusion purposes, the method is completely carried out below the melting temperature of the polyester waste. The solution viscosity of the post-condensed polyester waste equals at least 1.7. Possible applications of the filaments according to the invention are, for example, reinforcement carcasses for vehicle tyres.

Abstract: An airbag fabric made of polyamide filaments, wherein the polyamide filaments are made of at least 60% by weight of a bio-based monomer.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for fabricating a ribbon yarn, the method including: spreading the yarn such that not more than five filaments are lying over one another, fixing the yarn by forming a matrix of one or more fixatives, winding the fixed yarn, wherein the fixative or fixatives are selected from a group consisting of copolyamides, copolyesters and silicones and also mixtures or blends thereof. Also described is the ribbon yarn and the application of the ribbon yarns for airbag fabrics, as a tire reinforcement and in textile construction.

Abstract: A fiber composite having one or more layers of reinforcing fibers or filaments, that contains one or more layers of ribbon yarns brought into contact with it, as well as a method for its production.
