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.
