What Is Polyester Monofilament Yarn?

Main properties

High strength, good elasticity, good wear resistance, good light resistance, poor moisture absorption, and poor dyeability. The raw materials of polyester monofilament must be dried for 4 hours before processing. When cooling, the water temperature of the cooling pool is 60 to 70 degrees Celsius. Polyester is harder than nylon, but not as tough as nylon. It can be rolled in paper tubes with polyethylene and polypropylene.

Types

There are many types of polyester monofilaments yarn, including flame-retardant monofilaments, triangular shaped monofilaments, flat monofilaments, high shrinkage monofilaments, hollow monofilaments, cationic monofilaments, full matte monofilaments, UV-resistant monofilaments, PET monofilaments, etc.

Uses

Polyester monofilaments can be divided into two categories according to their uses: industrial and civilian. In industry, they are mainly used for the skeletons of industrial conveyor belts, woven filter nets, Meiji mesh cloths, rubber wire outer casings, etc. In civilian use, they are mainly used for matching bags, webbing, zippers, straw hats, curtains, wedding dresses, clothing, etc.

Polyester monofilament can be divided into 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D, 60D... 2500D and other products according to specifications. 30D polyester monofilament is a new product with high added value of special fiber, high environmental performance, and is the basic raw material for the production of shoes, bags and stage costumes, with a very broad market prospect.
