Abstract: A textile fabric of aramid fibers has a water-repellent finish, wherein the water-repellent finish includes a mixture of a component A, a component B and a component C, wherein the component A is a reaction product of an aliphatic carboxylic acid with a methylol melamine, the component B is a paraffin wax, and the component C is an ester wax C1 and/or another paraffin wax C2. The water-repellent finish preferably is free of fluorine. Additionally, a method for producing the textile fabric is described.

Abstract: A penetration-resistant article includes at least one woven structure that has thermoplastic fibers and high-strength fibers, wherein the high-strength fibers have a strength of at least 100 MPa according to ASTM D-885, and a second weave of the woven structure has high-strength fibers. The thermoplastic fibers lie on the second weave and are connected to the second weave by way of at least one warp and/or weft thread. The thermoplastic fibers account for a proportion by weight with respect to the weight of the double weave of 5 to 35%. A method for producing such a woven structure is also described.

Abstract: A method for producing a hydrophobically finished aramid fabric includes at least a) providing an aramid yarn, b) applying a water-repellent agent to the aramid yarn, c) drying the aramid yarn resulting from step b), d) producing a fabric from the aramid yarn resulting from step c), and e) heat treating the fabric. The fabric is used to produce an antiballistically effective article. The v50 values for the hydrophobically finished fabrics of the invention are in the wet state higher than, and in the dry state at least as high as or higher than, the values for hydrophobically finished fabrics not of the invention in the wet and dry states, respectively.
