BCF Yarn  BCF Yarn stands for Bulked Continuous Filament Yarn. A kind of filamentous yarn with bulky filaments, the raw material is polypropylene. These types of yarns are in large bulk but not springy in nature. They are substitutes for acrylic and wool yarns in manufacturing machine-woven carpets, carpet covers, and so on. The material…

What is wool fiber? Wool as such is a renewable natural fiber, so it could have been considered an environment-friendly option. Unfortunately, the extensive sheep farming practiced to meet global demand has had disastrous consequences for the environment. When well managed, grazing can positively impact certain types of ecosystems. But when the land is grazed…

World fiber consumption has increased over several decades; from 1950 to 2008, the per capita consumption increased from 3.7 kg to 10.4 kg, and through continuous development, it recorded in 2014 a demand of 55.2 million tons (122 billion pounds) of synthetic fibers, in addition to the natural fibers, including cotton and wool, which have…

What is the process for producing polyester staple fiber?  We will show you how to produce recycled polyester staple fiber. Actually, the only difference is the raw material processing machines. Polyester Staple Fiber (PSF) is produced directly from PTA and MEG, PET chips, PET/polyester waste, or post-consumer PET bottles. It’s used for spinning yarns and…

Export-import to China impacted by COVID-19.  In 2019, China ranked as Vietnam’s second-largest foreign market with $41.41 billion, just behind the United States. However, the epidemic outbreak in China has had a significant impact on trade between the two countries, as well as tourism and aviation. Despite the reopening of border gates with China, the…

What is fully drawn yarn (FDY)? FDY, also known as FOY, is a type of highly drawn polyester filament yarn that can be used to produce high-strength fabrics and textiles. The fabrics and textiles made from bright FDY have a bright luster. FDY is typically used to produce fabrics and textiles for high-end undergarments, high-end…

What is Polyester Fabric? Polyester fabric is a synthetic, man-made fabric made from polyester fibers, which are manufactured from a category of polymers made from oil. Polyester fiber is the most commonly used manufactured fiber worldwide. Like other polymers, there are many variations of “polyesters.” The most popular is polyethylene terephthalate, or PET, which is…

What are spandex fibers? Spandex fiber, or elastane fibers, better known under their trade names, Lycra and Dorlastan, represent a further high point in the development of man-made fibers. Invented in 1937 in Germany, elastane has properties not found in nature, the most important being an extraordinary elasticity. Compared to rubber, elastane has both greater…

Polyester High Tenacity Yarn (HTY)  A yarn containing filaments made from synthetic polymers has a cross-section having at least 5 vertices, a titer of 1 to 7 dtex, and a tenacity of at least 60 cN/tex. The filaments of the high tenacity yarn preferably have a cross-section having 5 to 8 vertices, possibly with indentations…

What are plastic bottles? Plastic is non-recyclable, but over time, environmental factors such as sunlight and rain will gradually break down plastic into smaller pieces. These fine pieces, also known as microplastics, will stay on Earth for more than 1000 years or forever as plastic. And when the degrading happens, toxic chemicals in the plastic…
