Blended Air jet textured yarns were produced using Polyester and Nylon 6 filament yarns as feed materials. The yarns produced were used in the weft way for fabric production using Cimmco auto loom and 65P/35C blended woven yarns were used in the warp. Blends of PET and PA multifilament yarns offer interesting possibilities for producing fabrics with heather effects. The characteristics of the fabrics were tested and it was found that, the drapeability, crease recovery, abrasion resistance and tensile properties are better achievable with Nylon 6 rich fabrics. The Polyester rich fabrics are stiffer, highly abrasive with low tensile characteristics than Nylon wealthy fabrics. Air permeability of fabrics decreases with increase in nylon proportion in the yarn. From the above study, it is concluded that, blending plays a prominent role in altering the properties of the fabrics.

Abstract


Blended Air jet textured yarns were produced using Polyester and Nylon 6 filament yarns as feed materials. The yarns produced were used in the weft way for fabric production using Cimmco auto loom and 65P/35C blended woven yarns were used in the warp. Blends of PET and PA multifilament yarns offer interesting possibilities for producing fabrics with heather effects. The characteristics of the fabrics were tested and it was found that, the drapeability, crease recovery, abrasion resistance and tensile properties are better achievable with Nylon 6 rich fabrics. The Polyester rich fabrics are stiffer, highly abrasive with low tensile characteristics than Nylon wealthy fabrics. Air permeability of fabrics decreases with increase in nylon proportion in the yarn. From the above study, it is concluded that, blending plays a prominent role in altering the properties of the fabrics.
