Filament Yarn

Polyester filament yarn is a major continuous-filament textile material: polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is melt spun into continuous filaments and wound onto packages. Unlike staple spinning, it

Lyocell filament yarn is the rare combination of a cellulosic hand feel with continuous-filament geometry. Wood pulp is dissolved directly in N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (NMMO) — no derivatization, no

Nylon filament yarn — mainly polyamide 6 and polyamide 66 melt spun into continuous multifilament — is widely selected where abrasion resistance, elastic recovery and strength-to-weight performance

Recycled polyester filament yarn turns post-consumer PET bottles into continuous multifilament that performs like virgin polyester at the loom. Bottles are collected, sorted, washed, flaked and

Acetate filament yarn is a regenerated-cellulose-based continuous filament made from cellulose acetate. Cellulose from wood pulp is partially esterified with acetic anhydride, dissolved in acetone

Viscose filament yarn is the original regenerated-cellulose continuous filament: wood pulp is converted to alkali cellulose, reacted with carbon disulfide into cellulose xanthate, dissolved into
