Abstract: Composites made from at least two plies are described, where one of the outer layers is a layer comprising glass fibers, and in particular is a staple glass fiber nonwoven. The layers have been bonded to one another by needling, and the extent of this needling is such that some of the fibers of the organic nonwoven emerge from the surface of the glass fiber sheet. The composite is then provided with a binder by using a rotating roll for single-side application to the glass fiber surface. The composites are particularly suitable for producing bituminized prefabricated roofing and waterproofing sheets, and as backings for coatings, e.g. PVC coatings.

Abstract: In accordance with the invention, a laminate of two or more layers and the method of making it is provided. The laminate includes at least one organic synthetic filament non-woven layer, and at least one woven web or scrim of glass fibers pre-consolidated by a binding agent. The polyester non-wovens and the woven webs or scrims are bound by needling such that a part of the (e.g., polyester) filaments penetrate through the laminate and emerge at the lower surface of the laminate and lie adjacent thereto The formed laminate is subjected to a final consolidation by an acrylate or a styrene binder.

Abstract: The present invention provides non-woven laminate that is not subjected to final consolidation by a binder and the production thereof. The laminate includes at least one non-woven mat containing glass staple fibers pre-consolidated with a resin, and at least one non-woven layer of synthetic fibers. The synthetic non-woven layers and the pre-consolidated non-woven mat of glass fibers are bounded together by needling such that a portion of the fibers of the upper synthetic non-woven layer passes through the non-woven mat of glass fibers possibly through the underlying synthetic non-woven layer. The synthetic fibers are heat shrunken and the laminate is binder free.

Abstract: There are described a dimensionally stable laminate whose surfaces are formed by spunbonded webs and comprising at least two layers of spunbonded and at least one laid layer of reinforcing yarn, the laid layer or layers each being disposed between two layers of spunbonded and having a thread density of from 0.5 to 3 threads/cm, spunbonded and laid layers having been joined together by needling at about 20-70 stitches/cm2, a process for manufacturing this laminate, and its use for manufacturing roofing sheets and roof sealing sheets.

Abstract: Disclosed is a base inliner comprising a textile sheet material and a reinforcement, wherein said reinforcement absorbs a force so that, in a stress-strain diagram (at 20.degree. C.), the load at an elongation within the range between 0 and 1% differs by at least 10% at at least one location for said base inliner with said reinforcement compared with said base inliner without said reinforcement, preferably by at least 20%, particularly preferably by at least 30%. The base inliner is useful for producing optionally bituminized roofing and sealing membranes.

Abstract: Disclosed is a base inliner comprising a textile sheet material and a reinforcement, wherein said reinforcement comprises monofilaments whose diameter is at least 0.1 mm, preferably between 0.1 and 1 mm. The base inliner is useful for producing optionally bituminized roofing and sealing membranes.

Abstract: Described is a composite comprising at least one textile sheet construction composed of synthetic polymer and hybrid yarn comprising reinforcing fiber and lower melting bonding fiber. Also described is a net comprising in at least one direction hybrid yarns composed of reinforcing fiber and of lower melting bonding fiber.

Abstract: There is described a thermally stable, binder-consolidated spunbonded web formed from load-carrying filaments and binder filaments where the melting point of the binder filaments is less than 30.degree. C below that of the load-carrying filaments.The binder and the load-carrying filaments are preferably made of polyesters. The basis weight of the spunbonded web is within the range between 50 and 500 g/m.sup.2, the denier of the load-carrying and the binder filaments is within the range between 1 and 20 dtex, and the proportion of binder filament is between 5 and 25 percent by weight. The web has a particularly high thermal resistance, i.e. a particularly high resistance to high downstream processing temperatures. It is usable for example as a support material for roofing membranes and as a tufting support and so on.

Abstract: A spun-bonded fabric consolidated by a hot-melt binder, composed of polyester filaments and of polyester binder filaments serving as the hot-melt binder is described. The weight per unit area of the spun-bonded fabric is in the range between 20 and 120 g/m.sup.2, the individual titer of the load-bearing filaments and of the binder filaments is in the range between 1 and 7 dtex, and the proportion of the binder filaments is less than 10 percent by weight. This is a lightweight spun-bonded fabric which is distinguished by a particularly high dynamic capability, i.e. a particularly high resistance to alternating stresses. The lightweight spun-bonded fabric can be used, for example, as a reinforcement for shoes and garments, as a carrier material for curtains and blinds, as seat covering, filter material, and the like.

Abstract: There is described a support web for roofing membranes which comprises a spunbonded made of polyester filaments. The spunbonded has a basis weight of from 50 to 100 g/m.sup.2 coupled with a filament denier of from 1 to 8 dtex and has been consolidated with a fusible binder. This produces a high tear propagation resistance and nail pullout strength and also good dimensional stability at high temperatures. The spunbonded support web is therefore particularly suitable for bitumenized roofing membranes.

Abstract: A support web is described for roof foundation webs which comprises a spunbonded web of polyester filaments. The spunbonded web has a basis weight of 50 to 100 g/m.sup.2 and a filament denier of 1 to 8 dtex. It has been thermomechanically preconsolidated by means of a smooth calender and end-consolidated by means of a binder. This produces a high tear propagation resistance and nail removal resistance and good dimensional stability at high temperatures. The spunbonded web is therefore particularly suitable for use as a support web for bituminized roof foundation webs.
