Air covered yarn, also known as air-jet covered yarn, is a type of yarn that is produced by combining two or more different types of yarn using an air-jet covering process. It involves wrapping a filament or spun yarn around a core yarn using high-pressure air.
The air covering process starts by feeding the core yarn and the covering yarn(s) into a nozzle. The high-pressure air jet forces the covering yarn(s) to wrap around the core yarn, creating a covered yarn with a smooth and uniform appearance.
The core yarn provides the strength and structure, while the covering yarn(s) add desired characteristics such as softness, stretch, or texture. The covering yarn(s) can be made of different materials, such as polyester, nylon, or spandex, depending on the desired properties of the final yarn.
Air covered yarn is widely used in the textile industry for various applications. It is commonly used in the production of stretchable fabrics, such as sportswear, swimwear, and lingerie, where elasticity and comfort are important. It can also be used in the production of textured or fancy yarns, adding visual interest and unique effects to fabrics.
The advantages of air covered yarn include improved elasticity, enhanced texture, and reduced pilling. It offers versatility in terms of combining different yarn types and materials to achieve specific performance and aesthetic characteristics. Additionally, air covered yarn can be further processed, such as dyeing or finishing, to meet specific requirements of the end product.
Overall, air covered yarn is a popular choice for manufacturers looking to enhance the properties and appearance of their textile products by combining different yarns in a single yarn structure.
