A process and a splitter for splitting a tape of a uniaxially oriented material. The tape is passed in a process direction over a splitting profile having a row of parallel teeth with a cutting edge extending in the process direction. The tape is split to form a tape comprising a plurality of parallel strips interconnected by fibrils. The split tape can for example be used for the production of high tensile ropes.

Process and device for splitting a tape

A ballistic-resistant molded article comprising a compressed stack of sheets comprising reinforcing elongate bodies and an organic matrix material, the direction of the elongate bodies within the compressed stack being not unidirectionally, wherein the elongate bodies are tapes with a width of at least 2 mm and a thickness to width ratio of at least 10:1 with the stack comprising 0.2-8 wt. % of an organic matrix material.
