Abstract:
A process for producing a base inliner having improved loadbearing reinforcement at low elongation within the range of 0 to 1% at 20.degree. C. comprising the steps of:(a) providing at least one textile sheet material;(b) providing monofilaments having a diameter of at least 0.1 mm. and a Young's Modulus of at least 5 Gpa in an oriented state while under longitudinal tension; and(c) consolidating said textile sheet material and said monofilaments while maintaining said longitudinal tension on said monofilaments,wherein the tension applied to said monofilaments in steps (b) and (c) is sufficient to facilitate the formation of a base inliner wherein said monofilaments in the resulting base inliner start to absorb a force and transfer it at an elongation within the range of 0 to 1 % so that an applied load to generate an elongation within the range between 0 and 1% at 20.degree. C. differs by at least 10% at at least one value of elongation within the range of 0 to 1% when compared to a base inliner formed of said textile sheet material without said monofilaments.
