Basic Information about Low Melt Staple Fiber  Low melting fiber is a bi-component fiber known for its strong bonding properties, often used in the spinning of durable yarns. It is valued for its thermal bonding capabilities, making it a popular choice in industries such as automotive and construction for insulation. This fiber can be blended…

What is Nylon Yarn?  Mono Filament Yarn can be obtained by direct spinning or by splitting the Mother Yarn. It has exceptional resistance and hence it is utilized for fuel and chemicals. This type of monofilaments is widely used in the production of filter fabrics and automotive utilities. A polyester Monofilament yarn is also used…

What is Acrylic Yarn?  Acrylic is a synthetic material which can be used for a wide scope of manufacturing practices. Acrylic can be converted into yarn or fabric as well as many other types of blends. It is essentially, a man-made, synthetic fiber which is comprised of at least 85% acrylonitrile. Acrylic Yarn is highly…

What is POY yarn (Polyester Partially Oriented Yarn)? POY is either combined with other yarns (so-called ITYs) or converted into stitches and texturized at texturizing companies. Partially Oriented Yarn refers to a thread that is produced in the form of a semi-textured molecular structure due to its polymer structure. Which causes an increase in length…
