Air covered Yarn (ACY)
Air covered Yarn (ACY) is a composite yarn made by using air jets to fuse outer fibers (like nylon/polyester) onto an elastomeric core. This yarn processing technique eliminates stiffness and twist, resulting in superior elasticity, smooth comfort, and high durability for demanding applications like activewear, hosiery, and seamless garments.
Applications:
* Knitting of sportswear fabrics requiring elasticity
* Weaving of denim with elastic weft
* Production of soft, elastic hosiery and socks
Key Features:
Enhanced Elasticity for Snug Fit and Shape Retention in Garments
Lightweight and Breathable Structure for Enhanced Wearer Comfort
Superior Abrasion Resistance and Durability for Extended Fabric Lifespan
High Production Speed on Air Covering Machines Compared to Conventional Methods
Versatile Compatibility with various fibers including cotton, polyester, and nylon for diverse fabric textures
