A yarn is provided which includes a core formed of a glass material and a wrapping yarn wound about the core. The core has a roughened surface, which tends to engage and hold the wrapping yarn. The yarn may exhibit excellent strength, cut resistance and heat resistance, while providing a smooth finish. A method of making the yarn includes roughening the surface of the glass filament by various means.
The invention concerns a thread possessing properties of resistance to cutting, comprising at least one core thread (2) sheathed with at least one sheathing thread (3) consisting of continuous fibers or filaments, characterized in that the core thread (2) is a multifilament thread comprising from 50 to 1800 continuous glass filaments (4). The invention also concerns equipment for protecting against cutting produced from such a thread and a method of producing such equipment.
A yarn is provided which includes a core and a wrapping yarn wound about the core. The core may include glass, metal and carbonaceous fibers which may be roughened and/or stretch-broken. The yarn may exhibit enhanced performance properties, such as strength, cut resistance and heat resistance. A method of making the yarn includes combining a glass filament and metal filament in a core wrapped by a sheath.
