    (54) A monofilament made from a blend of a polyester having a polyhydric alcohol component of 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol, and a polyamide


    (57) The present invention is directed to a monofilament made from a blend of a polyester having a polyhydric alcohol of 1,4-cyclohexane-dimethanol, and a polyamide. Additionally, the blend may include a polyolefin. This blend is useful as an article of paper making machine clothing used in forming, pressing, or drying sections of a paper making machine when the blend is in the form of a fiber structure. The blends usefulness stems from its dry-heat strength and hydrolysis resistance.
