Mechanically and thermally responsive polymer yarn for industrial fabric application and industrial fabric

摘要

Yarn for an industrial fabric which will be subjected to a heat set temperature during production. The yarn is made from polymeric material, the polymeric material includes a first phase and a second phase, wherein the melting temperature of the second phase is equal or less than the heat set temperature and wherein the melting temperature of the first phase is higher than the heat set temperature. Also provided are industrial fabrics with enhanced smoothness.
