Multifilament yarn containing n filaments are provided, wherein the filaments are obtained by spinning an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), said yarn having a tenacity (Ten) as expressed in cN/dtex of Ten(cN/dtex)=f×n.sup.−0.05×dpf.sup.−0.15, wherein Ten is at least 39 cN/dtex, n is at least 25, f is a factor of at least 58 and dpf is the dtex per filament.

A heating pad includes a heat pad with an anterior and posterior side. The heat pad includes a first layer, a second layer, and a third layer. The second layer is located in between the first layer and the third layer. The first layer is located on the posterior side, while the third layer is located on the anterior side. The second layer has a wire selectively heated to increase the temperature of the heat pad. The third layer is a reflective material positioned to reflect heat from the second layer towards the first layer, decreasing heat emitted on the anterior side of the heat pad. The heating pad also includes a battery storage section for securing a battery. The battery is in electronical communication with the wire of the heat pad. The heating pad further includes an engagement mechanism to secure the heating pad to a user.

Process for spinning multifilament yarn containing n filaments are provided, wherein an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) solution containing UHMWPE polymer and a solvent for the UHMWPE polymer are spun through n spin-holes of a spin plate and drawn before, during or after removal of the solvent to thereby obtain the multifilament yarn containing n filaments, the yarn having a tenacity (Ten) as expressed in cN/dtex of Ten(eN/dtex) = f×n.sup.-.sup.0.05×dpf.sup.-.sup.0.15, wherein Ten is at least 39 cN/dtex, n is at least 25, f is a factor of at least 62.0 and dpf is the dtex per filament.
