Nylon 6 8 Conventional Filament Air Textured Yarn

Nylon 6 8 is an innovative textile material that converts the filament yarn into a spun like yarn. Nylon 6 ATY has a special manufacturing process using compressed air that gives Nylon 6 ATY an exceptional textural characteristic that emulates natural fibre. In this yarn, a new aspect in fabrics performance and the outlook is presented with great versatility on use.

Function:

Nylon 6 8 ATY is intended to produce a spun-like surface, likened to natural cotton or wool, because of its air-texturing technique. It is particularly suitable for use where a cotton type of handle is required, such as to give fabrics a better handle and appearance. With features such as better moisture absorption and excellent hand-touch feeling, the product is considered highly worthy of succession to various textile products.

Features:

• Quick Moisture Absorption and Transmissibility: The smooth, narrow spaces between the yarns provide a good surface for capillary action to occur, hence rapid absorbency and transmissibility. The following feature of the fabrics made from ATY guarantees comfort through effective management of moisture.
• Air Texturing Process: Nylon 6 8 is made utilizing air pressure, where the filament ends up being freer, disturbed, and more complex. This process creates loop knots in the yarn, meaning that the texture they create is quite different from the filament yarn. By having such a structure, the appearance and feel of the yarn are more appealing.
• Spun-like Appearance: Also known as spun-like or cotton-like yarn, ATY has a hairy surface similar to staple yarn, according to Yamamoto et al. This characteristic gives it a delicate feel rather similar to that of cotton or wool and should be used in fabric types that need the feel of nature.
• Distinctive Texture and Look: These enormous numbers of small loops on the surface of ATY result in a different feeling and look from conventional yarns. It adds to a richer aesthetic experience linked to a better haptic impression and, therefore, better functionality.
• Imitation Cotton and Wool Properties: An obvious advantage of ATY is its imitation properties; this material is suitable for producing items that look like wool and have a pleasant softness—a wool-like hand feel. Thus, its coverage is much better than that of staple fiber, giving better fabric density and textural characteristics.
