Abstract: Monofilaments having high abrasion resistance and dimensional stability and low slide friction, textile fabrics composed thereof and use thereof Disclosed is a polyester monofilament comprising a) 60 to 85 wt.-% of a polyester raw material selected from the group of polyethylene terephthalate, of polyethylene naphthalate, of to polyethylene terephathalate modified with dicarboxylic acid, of polyethylene naphthalate modified with dicarboxylic acid, or of combinations thereof, b) 14.4 to 30 wt.-% of a thermoplastic elastomeric block copolymer, c) 0.05 to 10 wt.-% of a polycarbonate, and d) 0.1 to 10 wt.-% of a carbodiimide stabilizer, wherein the quantities are based on the total amount of the monofilament. The disclosed monofilaments can be preferably used for the manufacture of paper machine clothing and are distinguished by high hydrolytic stability, abrasion resistance and dimensional stability as well as by a very low slide friction.

Abstract: Monofilaments comprising particles of polysiloxane from 10 nm to 200 ?m 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.

Abstract: The invention describes food-compatible monofilaments and flat-shaped bodies made from them, wherein the monofilaments are based on polyester with the addition of 0.5 to 3.5 percent by weight of a polycarbonate, and which are characterized by an especially high abrasion resistance and resistance to foods. The shaped bodies are used for transporting, packaging, storing and handling foods and are characterized by reduced abrasion and an increased abrasion resistance. The quality of the foods that come into contact with such shaped bodies is excellent.
