A long continuous length of interlocking fibres is known as yarn, and it can be used to make rope, sewing, crocheting, knitting, and other textiles. All available yarns from SageZander
Twisted Yarn Twisted Yarn from SageZander Yarn twisting is a process done to yarns in order to change a number of their characteristics. It involves a twisting machine twisting the yarn to a specific level in a clockwise or anticlockwise direction. This process can create a stronger and more durable yarn that is less likely …
High tenacity yarns are a crucial component in the manufacturing of high-performance tyres. Tyres are subjected to various kinds of stress and strain during their lifetime, including the weight of the vehicle, road friction, and impact from bumps and potholes. High tenacity yarns are turned into fabrics that help to reinforce the rubber compound of …

Carbon fibre reinforced plastics (CFRPs) are a type of composite material made from carbon filaments that are usually woven into a fabric and then impregnated with a polymer resin. When the resin cures, the material develops the properties it is known for, like its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion, which make it …

Overview of Carbon Fibre Recycling Carbon fibre is a strong, lightweight material made from thin, durable fibres of carbon. It is used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, construction, and automotive, due to its high strength-to-weight ratio, durability, and resistance to corrosion. Carbon fibre is typically produced from petroleum-based precursors like polyacrylonitrile (PAN), …
Low melt yarns are specialized synthetic fibres that are designed to have a low melting point, making them ideal for use in products where heat resistance is a crucial factor. What are low melt yarns, again? Low melt yarns are specialised synthetic yarns that are designed to melt at lower-than-normal temperatures. For example, the standard …

Carbon fibre structural batteries are an interesting and emerging technology which allow batteries to be integrated into structural components. They are an innovative solution to a problem that has become particularly noticeable with the mass-adoption of battery electric vehicles. They have the potential to be used across a range of consumer electronics, too. How carbon …
If you can think of a yarn, there is a good chance that it has been used in a carpet. While the vast majority of modern carpets are made from synthetic materials like nylon yarns, natural fibres remain an option for carpets. Indeed, natural fibres are again becoming increasingly common for their environmental and physical …
Carbon fibre running shoes have taken the running world by storm over the last few years; they have been used in the world’s fasted marathon attempt, which came in under two hours. The world record has been broken twice by Eliud Kipchoge while wearing shoes that use it in the sole. Why is carbon fibre …

Kevlar is a para-aramid that is known the world over for its use in bullet and stab-resistant vests. In addition to this well-known use, Kevlar is used in many applications, including household ones. Here are some common ways that Kevlar are used in more common consumer applications. Electronics Kevlar is sometimes used as a component …
What is a Liquid Crystal Polymer? Liquid crystal polymers are a type of thermoplastic that have some liquid crystal properties, meaning that in some respects they behave like a crystal, and in other respects behave more like a liquid. An LCP yarn is one that been spun from the raw polymer. Types of Liquid Crystal …
