Air covered yarns

Air covered yarns are interlaced yarns. A spandex covering filament is mixed with other synthetic yarns such as polyester or polyamide with the help of compressed air injected through a jet, creating turbulence inside where the yarns are interlaced at regular intervals.

Elastic yarn is used to improve the uniformity, durability, and functional properties of knitting. In the case of yarns interlaced with polyamide, they combine the coating capacity of polyamide and the elasticity of the elastomer. In yarns interlaced with polyester, they combine their abrasion resistance and durability together with the high elongation of the elastomer.

The production efficiency of the Aircover yarns system is much higher than the yarns covered by the conventional covering system.
Our air covered yarns are used for weaving loom both as circular, hosiery, knitting, seamless and more applications.

In the nomenclature of the Aircover yarns we first show the elastomer used, usually indicated in decitex (dctx: weight in grams per 10,000 m.), followed by the description of the second material used (PA, PES), its thickness, also indicated in Decitex, number of filaments of each head and the number of total heads of the yarn.
Our air covered yarns are available in a wide variety titles and colors, on card or as a customer's sample.

We hereby only indicate our most aircover standard yarns. For any other kind of yarn that could be of your interest, please contact us.
