Multifilament yarns are composed of multiple filament fibers that are twisted or bundled together. Unlike monofilament yarns, which are made using a single-holed spinneret, multifilament yarns are produced using a spinneret with many small holes. This process ensures that all the extruded filaments are evenly drawn out. YUSHENG offers a wide range of multifilament yarns, including nylon multifilament yarn, polyester multifilament yarn, and polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarn, all designed to meet the diverse needs of the textile industry.
Multifilament yarns have an incredibly wide range of applications across various industries. These multifilament yarns are used extensively in the production of specialized products such as Geo Textile Fabrics and Filter Fabrics, as well as everyday items like sewing threads. In addition, multifilament yarns play a critical role in manufacturing Woven Sacks, Webbings, Tapes, Sofa Sets, Safety Belts, Braids, Ropes, Tennis Rackets, and much more. Among the most popular types, nylon multifilament yarn, polyester multifilament yarn, and polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarn are widely utilized to meet diverse industrial and consumer needs.
The nylon multifilament yarn is particularly valued for its strength and elasticity, making it ideal for producing braids, ropes, and safety belts. The high abrasion resistance of nylon multifilament yarns ensures durability in demanding applications, such as tennis rackets and webbings.
Polyester multifilament yarns are extensively used in the textile industry for their excellent dimensional stability and resistance to UV exposure. Polyester multifilament yarns are commonly employed in sewing threads, sofa sets, and webbings, as they provide a smooth texture along with long-lasting performance. The strength and resilience of multifilament polyester yarn also make it a preferred choice for safety belts and industrial tapes.
For applications requiring superior chemical resistance, polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarn is the material of choice. With its outstanding resistance to alkalis, acids, and moisture at normal temperature, polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarn is widely used in Geo Textile Fabrics and Filter Fabrics. The polypropylene (PP) multifilament yarn is also an excellent option for woven sacks, ropes, and other products exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
The properties of a yarn are not only dependent on the base material of a yarn, or its yarn count. The properties of a yarn are also determined by the production process used to turn the base polymer or natural material into the final yarn. There are three main types of yarn: monofilament yarn, multifilament yarn, and spun yarns. These are differentiated by the arrangement of the fibres in the yarn.
Spun yarns are made up of short staple fibres with lengths measured in centimetres, while filament yarns are kilometre-long. As artificial yarns are either pulled from a chemical solution or extruded from polymer chips in continuous processes, the filaments produced are too long for spinning. These filaments are broken using a variety of methods including cutting and stretching.
One of the most distinct characteristics of a spun yarn is its 'hairiness', while filament yarns do not have. In addition to this, spun yarns are softer to the touch and much less lustrous than filament yarns. Spun yarns have a lower tensile strength than their filament alternatives.
