False-twist texturing process
The false-twist texturing process is used to produce elastic and voluminous yarns. Textured yarns are used in clothing (fashion), in women’s stockings as in lingerie, and in various technical applications. The elasticity achieved makes it comfortable to wear.
Friction-textured yarn
The thread is twisted spirally in the friction disc unit (DTY) and then thermally fixed.
When the thread runs out, the (false) twist is untwisted spirally again, so that the highly elastic crimp is created. This traditional texturing process allows a very gentle processing of all thermoplastic yarn types, from POY to FDY spun filaments.
Spindle-textured yarn
The spindle texturing is a form fitting false-twist.
The thread is twisted in the magnetic spindle unit (PIN) and then thermally fixed. When the thread runs out, the (false) twist is untwisted spirally again, so that the highly elastic crimp is created. This traditional texturing process allows a very gentle processing of all thermoplastic yarn types, from POY to FDY spun filaments.
HE yarn
HE yarn is a so-called single heater yarn, which stands for offering maximum elasticity and voluminosity.
The heater fixes the thread created during texturing. The HE yarn is characterized by the uniformity of its crimping and the high, enduring elasticity.
SET yarn
This double-heated yarn stands for medium to high elasticity with highest volume.
The resulting thread crimp is fixed with a second heat treatment. This yarn has a soft feel and is comfortable to wear on the skin.
