A textile substrate made from reinforcing fibers for the production of composite-material preforms, Including an unidirectional composite consisting of at least one flat layer of multifilament reinforcing yarns arranged alongside and parallel to one another and joined by transverse threads, whereby a nonwoven of thermoplastic polymer material is arranged on the at least one flat layer of multifilament reinforcing yarns and is adhesively bonded to the flat layer of multifilament reinforcing yarns. The textile substrate wherein the transverse threads have a core/sheath structure with a first component forming the sheath and a second component forming the core, wherein the first component has a lower melting point than the second component, the first component is a fusible thermoplastic polymer material and the multifilament reinforcing yarns arranged alongside one another are joined together via the first component of the transverse threads by meltbonding.

Textile substrate made of reinforcement fibers

Method for producing a textile unidirectional fabric, wherein at least one planar layer of multi-filament reinforcement threads arranged parallel to each other are woven with each other over transverse threads, wherein transverse threads having core-sheath structure and titer of 10 to 40 tex are used as transverse threads, wherein transverse threads have a first component, which structures sheath, and second component, which structures core, wherein first component has lower melting temperature than second component, first component is meltable thermoplastic polymer material and, via first component of transverse threads, adjacently arranged multi-filament reinforcement threads are connected to each other by hot melting, wherein alleys are formed in unidirectional fabric by interweaving multi-filament reinforcement threads together with transverse threads, by means of which a permeability of 10 to 600 l/dm2/min can be established. Preferred embodiment relates to method for producing unidirectional fabric having fleece. Further, a fiber preform, produced from unidirectional fabric.
