Abstract
A polyester fabric is formed from a plurality of woven polyester monofilaments. The fabric exhibits improved hydrolytic stability and abrasion resistance. The woven polyester monofilaments are manufactured from a polymer blend comprising at least about 75 percent by weight of a polyester resin, up to about 20 percent by weight of a melt extrudable fluoropolymer resin, and more than 1.5 percent by weight and up to about 5 percent by weight of a hydrolytic stabilizing agent, to form 100 percent by weight of a polymer blend. Such fabrics have utility as fabrics for the dryer sections of paper making machines.
