As a Monofee monofilament yarn manufacturer, we focus on producing high-quality TPU monofilament yarn and TPEE monofilament yarn. The two materials differ significantly in their production processes, specifications and uses.

Production process

TPU monofilament yarn

TPU monofilament yarn is a fiber material made by spinning thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU). The production process includes steps such as preparation, melting, extrusion, drafting, and shaping of TPU particles. The diameter of TPU monofilament is generally between 0.08mm and 0.30mm, which can be adjusted as needed. The main types of TPU spinning processes include ordinary spinning, electrostatic spinning, air-jet spinning, wet spinning, etc.

TPEE monofilament yarn

TPEE monofilament yarn is made of thermoplastic polyester elastomer (TPEE) through a melt spinning process. In the production process of TPEE yarn, the TPEE material is blended and modified, and then extruded and wound under a certain temperature and pressure. TPEE monofilament yarn has pearl-like luster and silk-like touch, and has high yarn elongation and good resilience.

Specification

TPU monofilament yarn

TPU monofilament yarns are available in various specifications, and the diameter and strength can be adjusted according to different application requirements. Common specifications include 100D, 600D, 800D, etc., or even higher.

TPEE monofilament yarn

The specifications of TPEE monofilament yarn are also diverse, but more attention is paid to its elongation and resilience. The elongation at break of Sipei® TPEE elastomer yarn can reach 510%-690%, the breaking strength is 1.3-1.6cN/dtex, and the elastic recovery rate is 89%-91%.

Use

TPU monofilament yarn

TPU monofilament yarn is widely used in the production of sports shoes, textiles, packaging materials and other fields due to its high strength, high toughness, and good softness. In addition, TPU yarn can also be used in fly knitted uppers, socks and shoes, webbing, chenille, threaded connection wires, lace, Bondi thread weaving, webbing, wool carpets, padding, car linings and other industries.

TPEE monofilament yarn

TPEE monofilament yarn is suitable for manufacturing high elastic fabrics, sewing threads, hook tapes, bandages, sports shoe materials, gloves, socks and other fields due to its high elongation, good resilience, good gloss, and smooth feel. At the same time, TPEE monofilament yarn can also be used in sports equipment, car seat cushions and other fields.

In summary, both TPU monofilament yarn and TPEE monofilament yarn use advanced spinning technology in the production process, but they have different emphasis on material characteristics, specifications and uses. TPU monofilament yarn is suitable for a variety of industrial and consumer product fields due to its wear resistance and high strength, while TPEE monofilament yarn has a place in the textile and clothing industry for its high elasticity and softness. As a Monofee monofilament yarn manufacturer, we are committed to providing high-quality monofilament yarn products that meet various needs.
