Voluminous, inelastic characteristic
Due to its characteristic properties, air-textured yarns are used in home textiles and sportswear as well as in some technical applications.
Principle
The crimping is caused by an air-mechanical deformation in the Air Jet. Air-textured yarns can be re-fixed, which increases the stability of the crimp and reduces shrinkage. These yarns are dimensionally stable, not prone to creasing or pilling, and have a high resistance to slippage. The natural, cotton-like appearance is what sets an air-textured yarn apart.
