Types of Polyester Filament Yarn
Polyester filament yarn is a strong synthetic fiber, widely used in various industries and consumer products. It is a polymer created by the reaction of petroleum-derived ethylene with other chemicals to form a fibrous material. The resulting product is often referred to as "ethylene polyester" or "PET".
Filament Yarns and Spun Yarns
There are several different types of polyester yarns, each with its own characteristics. The most common type of polyester yarn is a filament, which is used in woven fabric and apparel applications. It is also available in spun and staple form, and it is often blended with other fibers to produce different kinds of textiles.
Flat-filament yarns are straight and compact, and they provide high strength in products such as surgical sutures and hernia repair meshes. These types of yarns are also the most popular for producing clothing and household items such as towels, bed linen, carpeting, and other fabrics.
Textured or bulked yarns, on the other hand, are usually twisted or crimped before being used in construction. This gives the yarn a softer, more compliant feel and greater coverage. This is especially useful in making knitted and woven fabrics for use in clothing, upholstery, car interiors, tents, safety belts, and other industrial applications.
This type of textured yarn can be made from any number of different materials, including cotton, wool, and silk. It is a relatively inexpensive way to add texture and dimensional stability to an otherwise plain-woven fabric.
It is possible to crimp or twist the fibers in many different ways. This can alter the fiber's hand, elasticity, dye-ability, and strength. It can also change the fiber's color.
The crimping process can also increase the fiber's insulation properties, as well as its elasticity. It can also make the fiber more resistant to balling, which is a problem for some other types of yarn.
In addition to the crimping process, it is possible to twist or stretch a polyester fiber in order to create a more uniform look and texture. This can be done by wrapping a fabric around a spinneret, or by pulling the fibers through a die.
These techniques can be used to create a variety of patterned textures, from crinkled and striped to brushed and fuzzy. This allows manufacturers to create a wide range of designs and patterns, and it can also make the end product easier to process and handle.
This can help to save on production costs and increase a manufacturer's profitability. Moreover, it can allow for the creation of unique and attractive materials.
Textured polyester filaments have become a popular choice for consumers seeking new looks and styles in their apparel, as well as for industrial manufacturers looking to replace old, worn-out fabrics. These textured, non-wool-type fibers can be made into fabrics that have the appearance and elasticity of wool, but they are not as durable and will pill easily if they are worn repeatedly.
In addition, the elasticity of textured polyester filaments can make them ideal for sportswear. These fibers can also be used to create lightweight fabrics for lingerie and other types of intimate wear, as well as for lightweight jackets.
