BONDING / SEPARATING

Separating, bonding and combi-yarns for embroidery, knitting, weaving, ready-to-wear apparel and for many new-to-be-developed applications.

Swicofil is your partner to help you improving your textile and industrial textile product performance, to find new solutions for existing products, to explore new product design possibilities.

Swicofil is co-operating with a partner who has been manufacturing and marketing melting (bonding / separating) yarn and fibers since 1952 and hotmelt adhesives since 1965. These polymers are intermediate products, which have been continuously developed as outstanding specialities and are used for innovative and technically demanding applications. 

It is difficult to imagine the modern textile industry and its periphery without these speciality yarns. They serve to simplify process steps i.e. for rationalization, but are also important for improving the quality of articles not otherwise economically feasible.
The variety of application possibilities for our products in knitting, chenille and band production or for labels, embroidery, raschel lace and the ready-to-wear apparel industry, can be classified in three important product assortments:
 

• fusible bonding yarns
• separating yarns
• combi yarns
• bicomponent solutions
• HDPE multifilament yarn

Fusible bonding yarns have a multitude of potential uses in the textile industry, including bonding of trouser waistbands, chenille yarns, iron-on woven labels, sheating for bra underwiring, curtain tapes etc. Using fusible bonding yarns help to improve and rationalize production processes.

Grilon® fusible bonding yarns for technical textiles, innovative solutions for garments, better product properties and process optimization:
 

• KE-types

  polymer:	Copolyester (CoPET)
  melting range:	60°C, 135°C, 160°C
  yarn count:	dtex 23 - dtex 330
  properties:	washable, stainable

  
   
• K-types

  polymer:	Copolyamid (CoPA)
  melting range :	85°C, 110°C, 140°C, 178°C
  yarn count:	dtex 23 - dtex 840
  properties:	washable, stainable, dry cleaning

In case your application cannot work with Polyester or Polyamide, it is also possible to apply HDPE multifilament for bonding purposes. 

Separation yarns have proven successful in the production of knitted panels for making-up into men's, ladies and children wear as well as in the sock and stocking industry. 

Solving product ideas with Grilon® separating yarn:

separation temperature:	85°C, 115°C, 145°C, 165°C, 195°C
yarn count:	dtex 75 - dtex 390

Combi yarns are fusible bonding yarns with normal melting PET or PA yarns twisted around. Our multifilament combi fusible bonding yarn consists of a fusible yarn twisted with a supporting yarn of normal melting point made from polyester or polyamide filaments. The fusible component in the combi yarn, used as the under-thread in the seam, is caused to melt and fuse by application of heat, whilst the supporting thread remains held in the seam with the top yarn.

Such yarns are used for iron-on attachment of embroidery, edge reinforcement of rachel lace or fusing of seams (like collar bands, chest pieces in men's and ladies outerwear).


Solving product ideas with Grilon® combi yarn:

• garment
  • stabilization of rachel laces, ribbons, picot edges for underwear
  • stabilization of edges for seamless, fully-fashioned and compression hosiery
  • separation yarns for knitted textiles
  • fixation of cutting edges for labels
  • stabilization of hems
  • improvement of mechanical properties of textile fabrics
     
• technical textiles
  • bonding of technical sewing threads
  • stabilization of ropes and HF wires
  • stabilization of edges for conveyor belts
  • reinforcement of woven fabric for protective clothing, home textiles
  • shaping fo cable sheaths
  • stabilization of grids and open structured
  • reinforcement of 3D structured
  • bonding of multilayer structured
     
• composite
  • sewing thread for UD and multiaxial fabrics
  • stitchting thread for 'tailored fiber placement'
  • reinforcement of carbon and glass fabrics
  • reinforcement of braided structures
