  • Patent number: 8402733
    Abstract: A yarn (100) comprising two or more bundles (110, 120, 130), each of said bundles comprising at least thirty metal fibres (140) is described. The bundles of the yarn are twisted with one another with a predetermined number of torsions per meter, said predetermined number of torsions permeter is smaller than 80 per meter and larger than 10 per meter. By doing so, an improved flexlife of the yarn can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20110079589
    Abstract: A yarn (100) comprising one or more bundles (110, 120, 130), each of said one or more bundles comprising at least thirty metal fibres is described. The metal fibres (140) comprise stainless steel and a metal which is electrically more conductive than stainless steel. The yarn is twisted with a predetermined number of torsions per meter, said predetermined number of torsions per meter is smaller than 80 per meter and larger than 10 per meter. By doing so, an improved flexlife of the yarn can be obtained.

  • Publication number: 20090081438
    Abstract: A stab resistant insert for protective textile product (400, 500), being a textile fabric (10, 20, 30,401, 402, 403, 501) comprises at least a first layer (110) of fibers and a second layer (120) of fibers. The fibers of this first layer (110) and second layer (120), are metal multifilament yarns (111, 121). The textile fabric (10, 20, 30, 401, 402, 403, 501) is a multi-layered woven fabric. The metal multifilament yarns (111, 121) are bundle drawn metal multifilament yarns.

  • Publication number: 20090014437
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heating element with electrically insulated metallic filaments wherein those metallic filaments have a diameter of 2 to 200 ?m, each metallic filament is separately electrically insulated and the electric insulation is a continuous and coherent glass coating. This provides thus a product which is very corrosion and oxidation resistant and has a high cut resistance. The high cut resistance makes it highly suitable for being sewn in textiles, e.g. in car seating. A further advantage of the invention is the small dimensions of the material used which make it more flexible thereby increasing the wear resistance and also increasing the flexibility for use, e.g. weaving, knitting or braiding the product into textile products. The metallic filaments can be of a metal with a specific electrical resistance between 17 and 2000 ?.mm2/km. Preferably, a specific electrical resistance between 17 and 200 ?.mm2/km, even more preferably, a specific electrical resistance between 17 and 100 ?.
