Nylon Twisted Yarn : Four Major Functions And Application

Filament Thread

Twisted yarn is also called double twisted yarn, and also called twisted yarn. It is a process of twisting a single yarn or a strand (multiple yarns are intertwined) to obtain a certain twist direction and number of twists. Nylon twisted yarn is a type of twisted yarn, which is an industrially produced synthetic fiber variety and belongs to aliphatic polyamide fiber.

Whether the warp and weft yarn raw materials of twisted yarn need to be twisted, why they are twisted, what twist direction and how much twist are added should be set according to the requirements of fabric variety specifications. The twisting process requires good winding formation, easy decoupling, uniform tension, appropriate size, uniform twist, and steam setting without curling. On the premise of meeting the process requirements, appropriately increase the winding to improve the output and quality of twisted yarn processing.

According to the requirements of the finished silk fabric, the appearance, effect or physical and mechanical properties of the silk thread are changed through the twisting process, which can not only improve the weaving processing performance of the silk thread, but also meet the appearance and different uses of the fabric.

Four major functions of nylon twisted yarn

(1) Increase the strength and friction resistance of the silk thread to reduce pilling and breakage and improve the fastness of silk fabrics.

(2) Give the silk thread a certain shape and color, giving the fabric appearance with refraction, wrinkles or terry, knots and other effects.

(3) Increase the elasticity of the silk thread, improve the wrinkle resistance of the fabric (imitation memory non-ironing fabric) and breathability (strong twist fabric), and make the fabric cool and comfortable to wear.

(4) Nylon twisted yarn can improve the feel and glossiness of the product, increase the tension and strength of the yarn, and eliminate static electricity and uneven stress in various parts.

Application of nylon twisted yarn

Nylon twisted yarn is suitable for textile units made of cotton, linen, wool, silk, chemical fiber, etc. The purpose of nylon twisted yarn is to wet and shape the silk thread with weaving conditions after twisting, that is, to increase humidity under multiple vacuum and certain temperature range to reduce the yarn expansion rate.

Nylon twisted yarn is mainly blended with viscose, cotton, wool and other synthetic fibers and used as clothing fabrics. It is mainly used to make strong yarn for the production of socks, underwear, sportswear, etc.
