Polyamide Fibers: - Abbreviation - PA. Synthetic fibers made from caprolactam (inventor P. Schlack 1938) or - AH salt (inventor H.W. Carothers 1938). Produced by the melt spinning process. It is available in both the filament yarn and the staple fiber form.
Properties :- Low density (1.14 g/cm3), high elasticity, very tear and abrasion resistant, polyamide fiber textiles scarcely crease, absorb very little water (3.5-4.5%). Consequently dry quickly, and do not shrink after washing.
End-uses : Filament yarns for stocking and tights (generally as textured yarns), underwear, lining fabrics, clothing, textile floorcoverings mostly as BCF yarns), technical textiles, tire cord, staple fibers for textile floorcoverings.
Fabrics: - Overall term for all textile products independently of production process (e.g. woven fabric, warp knitted fabric, weft knitted fabric, tufting, felt nonwovens).
Polyolefins: - Are produced by polymerizing unsaturated, aliphatic hydrocarbons (olefins) and form the most important plastic group (polyethylene, polypropylene).
Ethylene Glycol: - (HO. (CH2)2 . OH), is produced by transforming - ethylene oxide with water, and serves with terephthalic acid or dimethylterephthalate as a raw material for - polyester (PET).
FDY: - Abbreviation of Fully Drawn Yarn.
Weft Knitting: A common type of knitting in which one continuous thread runs crosswise in the fabric making all the loops in one course. Weft Knitting types are circular and flat knitting.
Microfibers: - Man-made filament yarns, sometimes fibers, averaging not more then one denier per filament. (Denier divided by the number of filaments.)
