Abrasion-resistant polyester mixture with enhanced consistency of processing, monofilaments therefrom, and production and use thereof. Described is an abrasion-resistant polyester mixture with enhanced consistency of processing, comprising a thermoplastic polyester and a thermoplastic polyurethane with or without customary nonpolymeric additives, the mixture of said polyester and said polyurethane having a melting point between 200.degree. and 230.degree. C. as are monofilaments made of said mixture. Also described are the production of this abrasion-resistant polyester mixture, the production of monofilaments therefrom, and their use for producing paper machine wire cloths.

There is described a support web for roofing membranes which comprises a spunbonded made of polyester filaments. The spunbonded has a basis weight of from 50 to 100 g/m.sup.2 coupled with a filament denier of from 1 to 8 dtex and has been consolidated with a fusible binder. This produces a high tear propagation resistance and nail pullout strength and also good dimensional stability at high temperatures. The spunbonded support web is therefore particularly suitable for bitumenized roofing membranes.

A laminate which, when used as a carrier web for roofing and sealing sheets, shows good flammability properties combined with improved mechanical properties and which comprises a layer of synthetic fibers and a layer of mineral fibers is obtained by needling two preconsolidated fiber webs, of which one comprises synthetic fibers and the other mineral fibers. The needling produces a strong positive join of the two webs, as a result of which the tendency for the two layers to delaminate under extreme thermomechanical conditions is avoided.

A support web is described for roof foundation webs which comprises a spunbonded web of polyester filaments. The spunbonded web has a basis weight of 50 to 100 g/m.sup.2 and a filament denier of 1 to 8 dtex. It has been thermomechanically preconsolidated by means of a smooth calender and end-consolidated by means of a binder. This produces a high tear propagation resistance and nail removal resistance and good dimensional stability at high temperatures. The spunbonded web is therefore particularly suitable for use as a support web for bituminized roof foundation webs.

A process for the preparation of cefodizime of the formula ##STR1## wherein (a) a compound of the formula II (ATS) ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or an aminoprotective group and A represents a hydrogen atom or one equivalent of an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal, of ammonium or of an organic nitrogen base, is first reacted with a compound of the formula III

Laminates, which are composed of a preconsolidated synthetic fiber web and a preconsolidated mineral fiber web, which are bonded to each other by needling, are improved in respect of their dimensional stability, in particular in the transverse direction, when the preconsolidated mineral fiber wet contains reinforcing yarns of a mineral material and extending in the longitudinal direction. They are preferably used as carrier web for roofing and sealing webs.

An apparatus for producing a spunbond by pneumatic take-off and laying of melt-spun filaments comprises a superatmospheric pressure chamber which is connected to the melt spinneret in a gas-tight manner and has discharge orifices for the filaments. Said superatmospheric pressure chamber tapers weekly conically into a drawing cell. The aperture angle of the weakly conical superatmospheric pressure chamber is less than 7.degree.. The filaments are spun in the form of a linear curtain into the interior of the superatmospheric pressure chamber which is just as wide as the curtain. One side of the conical portion and of the drawing cell is moveable and, at the start of the melt spinning, can be moved away from the other wall, so that the start-up of spinning is facilitated.

Apparatus for producing a spunbond

For the manufacture of non-wovens, filaments are laid down on a moving surface. The filaments are deflected by means of a rotating deflector and a subsequent guide plate connected thereto. It is important that the rotating deflector deflects the filaments from the rotational axis and that the guide plate rotating synchronously with the deflector leads back at least part of the filaments in the direction of the intersection of the rotational axis and the deposition surface, this leading back being carried out advantageously to a different extent for different portions of the filament veil. This leading back being at least partial results in a considerably more uniform area weight distribution than hitherto obtained.
