Abstract
A process according to which filaments are embedded in a thermoplastic substance. The filaments pass through a chamber which is filled with a thermoplastic substance under pressure and made viscous by heating and the filaments run over a number of return members, thus having the effect of embedding the filaments in a matrix consisting of the thermoplastic. On leaving the chamber, the filaments pass through at least one die with the matrix in which they are embedded. The pseudo monofilament thus formed is subjected to a twist and is coated with a sheath of wear-resistant thermoplastic substance.
