Coated Yarn
Coated Yarns from SageZander
The technology and expertise to extrude a coating over a yarn opens up a wealth of possibilities to create new products with the most relevant characteristics for the job in hand.
We have regular running items suitable for weaving, knitting, braiding and composites. Typical items are:
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) coating over a polyester core to produce a yarn that is suitable for a range of applications including upholstery fabrics, medical, workwear, etc giving high abrasion properties and resistance to oils and solvents all under oeko-tex class 1
This upholstery fabric uses TPU evolution alongside a linen yarn.
The TPU Evolution is the darker yarn and the fabric on the right has been pressed with heat giving a sheen to the surface of the fabric where the TPU yarn is placed.
Evolution High Grip - Coated Yarns
Evolution High Grip 100% polyester yarn which enables ‘grip’ to be engineered into woven or knitted fabrics at the points where grip is needed. Socks and gloves and other knitted articles are good examples but there is scope to engineer this into carpet backings or other woven textiles.
Evolution High Grip Yarn used in areas of the sock where grip is an advantage.
Low Melt Co-Polymer Coatings - Coated Yarns
Low Melt co-polymer coatings that can be utilized within composite fabrics allowing fabrics to be fixed when gentle heat is applied.
Example Dtex 1150 Co-Pa/Glass fibre core melting in the 110-150 deg c range
Suitable for composite applications, here a co-polymer polyamide is coated onto a glass fibre yarn.
The final yarn can be heated during the finishing process to melt and consolidate the fabric.
Chemical, abrasion, FR and UV resistant polymer coatings
Chemical, abrasion, FR and UV resistant polymer coatings applied on polyester or polyamide core yarns enabling products suitable for harness braiding.
PVC or PVDF are typical coatings utilized.
PVC Coated Polyester supplied on braider bobbins suitable for applications on earthmovers, agricultural machinery, automotive and other demanding applications.
lower melt Polypropylene
Polypropylene multifilament yarns can be overcoated with a lower melt Polypropylene to maintain the tenacity of the multifilament yarn whilst adding abrasion resistance and filament protection to the underlying filaments.
A great idea for ropes.
An example of the Polypropylene PP coating applied to the PP filament yarn both in yarn form and also as a braided rope.
The rope will float and the filaments in the core are better protected giving a longer lasting product
Summary of Yarn Coatings
