YARN TECHNOLOGY (FILAMENT YARN)

Abstract

Yarn is manufactured in two ways: spun yarn and filament yarn. The yarn manufacturing industry has seen filament yarn fill 59% of the market, compared to 41% for spun yarn. Filament yarns contribute significantly to the expansion of the textile industry due to their physical characteristics, low cost, and adaptability. Rapidly shifting fashion trends, as well as the availability of numerous types of yarns depending on colour, twist, fiber content, smoothness, and thickness, are a few significant reasons driving global textile industry growth. This demonstrates that filament yarn manufacturing is gaining traction in the global market. Filament yarns have long been used in the textile industry. The greater usage of filament yarn has improved market revenue growth. This e-book starts with an introduction to filament yarn, which covers the history of synthetic fibers, several varieties of filament yarn, and their properties. The second topic is the creation of filament yarn using three popular technologies: melt-spinning, dry spinning, and wet spinning. The Principle of main texturing methods will be discussed in the third topic, which will go through texturing methods such as false twist, stuffer box, air jet, and knit de-knit. This book also introduces students to filament technical yarn in a nutshell so that they may acquire ideas for alternative uses of filament yarn. Finally, the fifth topic will attempt to address the distinction between the filament and spun yarn, yarn count computation, and other filament yarn-related topics in brief.
