Texturized yarn
1. Product Features
Texturized yarn is made from alkali-free continuous glass fiber yarn. Through air-jet or mechanical puffing, the fiber bundles are treated to achieve a fluffier, larger volume, and higher porosity while maintaining their original strength. This structure allows the yarn to combine the high strength, corrosion resistance, and non-flammability of glass fiber with the softness and improved thermal insulation properties of natural fibers. Texturized yarn exhibits strong thermal stability. Standard E fiberglass yarn can withstand temperatures up to 550°C, while high-silica fiberglass yarn can exceed 1000°C. It is also flame-retardant, non-flammable, and produces no toxic gases when exposed to fire.
2. Product Advantages
Compared to ordinary glass fiber yarn, texturized yarn offers the following unique advantages:
Excellent thermal insulation: The fluffy structure increases thermal conductivity, making it suitable for fireproofing and thermal insulation.
Softness and improved weaving properties: Suitable for weaving into cloth, tape, and rope, with a feel similar to that of natural fibers.
High-Temperature and Corrosion-Resistant: Can be used in high-temperature environments for extended periods and is resistant to acids, alkalis, and most chemicals.
Lightweight: Lighter than metal insulation materials, making it easier to process and install.
Safe and Environmentally Friendly: Asbestos-free, non-toxic, and harmless, meeting European and American environmental standards.
3. Applications
Fireproof and Heat-Insulating Materials: Fireproof fabrics, fire blankets, welding protective fabrics, and high-temperature gloves.
Industrial Seals: Furnace door sealing ropes, pipe insulation wraps, and thermal insulation gaskets.
Filter Materials: High-temperature gas filter bags and industrial dust removal filters.
Composite Reinforcement: Combined with resin to create high-temperature-resistant composite structural components.
Electrical Insulation: Heat-resistant cable sheathing materials and insulating tape.
Automotive and Marine Industries: Engine insulation, exhaust pipe protective covers, and ship fireproof partitions.
4. Selection Guide
Material: Ordinary E Texturized yarn is suitable for most insulation needs, while high-silica texturized yarn is suitable for extremely high-temperature environments.
Fiber Diameter: Finer fiber diameter provides greater flexibility, while thicker fiber diameter provides greater strength and abrasion resistance.
Linear Density: Higher Tex values are suitable for braiding, while lower Tex values are suitable for weaving.
Bulking Method: Air-bulked yarn offers better uniformity, while mechanically-bulked yarn provides greater bulk.
Post-Treatment: Graphite coating (for wear and slip resistance), PTFE coating (for corrosion resistance), and silicone coating (for high-temperature resistance and anti-sticking) are available.
5. FAQ
What is the difference between texturized yarn and ordinary fiberglass yarn?
Ordinary yarn is compact and strong, while texturized yarn is bulked through a bulking process, resulting in greater volume and improved insulation and flexibility.
What is the maximum temperature resistance of texturized yarn?
E-glass texturized yarn has a temperature resistance of approximately 550°C, while high-silica texturized yarn can withstand temperatures exceeding 1000°C.
Can texturized yarn be directly woven into fireproof fabric?
Yes. Texturized yarn is commonly used in high-temperature protective products such as welding protective cloth, fire blankets, and fireproof gloves.
6. Summary
As an important derivative of glass fiber, texturized yarn offers a balance of strength, thermal insulation, and environmental performance, making it an ideal material for high-temperature protection, thermal insulation, sealing, and industrial filtration. With the growing demand for environmentally friendly and high-performance materials, bulked yarn has broad application prospects in the construction, energy, metallurgy, automotive, and marine industries.
