SwicoGold

Compared to any other metalized yarn, SwicoGold yarns convince with the following characteristics:

• excellent washing behaviour
  After 60 household washing cycles, there is 90-95% of metal still on the SwicoGold yarns according to tests conducted by EMPA Switzerland.
   
• very regular coating along the yarn
  Ideal for automation applications, where uniform conducitvity is important to keep performance at a steady level and reaction margins extremely narrow.
   
• coated with Gold only
  There is no layer of any other metal or adhesive substance underneath like it is with other metalization processes - SwicoGold yarns will therefore not start to oxizie as there is no silver / copper involved.
   
• inertness
  SwicoGold yarn, composed of only the base material of your choice and gold, is technically inert which makes it very suitable for medical applications where characteristics such as corrision resistance and high conductivity are crucial for new fields of technologies.
   
• tailored upon your requirements
  Additional to the standard programme, SwicoGold yarns can also be made according to properties you need. This includes conducitivity values, base yarn material counts or twist. We do everything so that the yarns are easy to process for you.
   
• very fashionable
  Products on the fashion side with SwicoGold yarns have a wonderful noble appearence due to the yarn's elegance and fineness.
