Abstract

A hybrid cord of at least two multifilament yarns twisted together is described, where the first yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn and the second yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn composed of a material that is not identical to the first multifilament yarn. The viscose multifilament yarn is conditioned in the standard climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 139-1:2005, and has a yarn linear density <1100 dtex and a breaking tenacity of ≧45 cN/tex. The hybrid cord has a cord linear density of ≦3000 dtex.

Claims (45)

1. A hybrid cord comprising at least two multifilament yarns twisted together, wherein:

a first yarn is a viscose multifilament yarn;

a second yarn is a non-metallic multifilament yarn composed of a material that is not identical to the first yarn;

the viscose multifilament yarn has been conditioned in a standard climate in accordance with DIN EN ISO 139:2011-10 and has a yarn linear density <1100 dtex and a breaking tenacity of ≧45 cN/tex; and

the hybrid cord has a cord linear density of ≦3000 dtex.

2. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the second yarn has a yarn linear density in the range from ≧50 to ≦1800 dtex.

3. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the hybrid cord has a cord linear density ≦2500 dtex.

4. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the viscose multifilament yarn has a yarn linear density in the range from ≧150 dtex to ≦1100 dtex.

5. The hybrid cord according to claim 4 , wherein the viscose multifilament yarn has a yarn linear density in the range from ≧200 dtex to <800 dtex and a breaking tenacity in the range from ≧45 cN/tex to ≦53 cN/tex.

6. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the viscose multifilament yarn has a filament linear density in the range from 1.2 to 4.0 dtex.

7. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the viscose multifilament yarn has an elongation at break in the range from ≧5% to ≦20%.

8. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the second yarn is an aramid multifilament yarn or a polyamide multifilament yarn.

9. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the second yarn is a polyester multifilament yarn.

10. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the second yarn has a yarn linear density in the range from ≧250 to ≦800 dtex.

11. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first yarn is a rayon multifilament yarn;

the second yarn is a PA66 multifilament yarn; and

the hybrid cord has the construction rayon 780×1+PA66 700×1.

12. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein:

the first yarn is a rayon multifilament yarn;

the second yarn is an aramid multifilament yarn; and

the hybrid cord has the construction rayon 620×1+aramid 550×1.

13. The hybrid cord according to claim 12 , further comprising

a third multifilament yarn that is a rayon multifilament yarn identical to the first yarn, wherein

the hybrid cord has the construction rayon 620×1+aramid 550×1+rayon 620×1.

14. The hybrid cord according to claim 1 , wherein the second yarn has a yarn linear density in the range from ≧200 to ≦1200 dtex.
