Chinese invest in FDY polyester production for warp knits

Remscheid – According to Swiss textile machinery manufacturer Oerlikon Barmag, the demand for top-quality polyester Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY) is growing significantly, particularly in the Chinese market. The company says that yarn qualities for further processing using high-speed warp-knitting methods have been in especially high demand over the past few months

The warp-knitting process which is especially good for producing mesh fabrics requires particularly even yarn, as even the smallest irregularities in the yarn have a negative impact on both the production process and the appearance of the fabric surface. The spectrum of warp-knitted goods ranges from the finest tulle and lace, robust netting and elastic linings all the way through to high-end plush.
