Texturizing

Texturing is a term from the textile industry and called to give the process a smooth filament yarns crimp structure (texture). The aim is to give the smooth synthetic fibers of polyamide, polyester or polypropylene, a characteristic of natural fibers such as wool or cotton.

Texturing of filaments

The following textile properties are improved by the texturing: the elasticity, volume, increased moisture absorption, better moisture management, a better air pocket, a reduction in gloss and a more agreeable grip or a better comfort. Depending on the application and manufacturing process used in practice different techniques to texturing. In all the methods you are trying to give especially the filament a corresponding texturing.

Texturing of carpet yarns

In addition, there are in the carpet industry a niche area, here the whole Garnverbund a texture is awarded after the twisting and Cabling. These yarns are then further processed into carpet types as Frieze or Shaggyteppiche. For such yarns exclusively comes the compression chamber system used. For Shaggyteppiche and Tracklessteppiche a special type of stuffer box is preferred, the Twinrollbox in conjunction with the Power -Heat Setting - fixing process.

In contrast to the texturing of filaments, where you want to change, especially the properties of the fiber, in the texturing of carpet yarns in the first place is the visual appearance of importance.
