Texturizing and Voluminizing

Texturized and voluminized products have various end uses because of their valuable characteristics, including aesthetics, fire resistance, dimensional stability and improved thermal insulation.

Applications include:

CONSTRUCTION

  • Wall covering fabrics
  • Curtains, veils, wall hangings, vertical blinds, etc.
  • Roofing

INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

  • Thermal insulation
  • Gas filtration
  • Anticorrosion reinforcement

TRANSPORTATION

  • Clutch disc, brake linings

 

               

 

Description of the process

In the texturizing process, the glass yarns or strands are overfed into a nozzle in which a pressurized air stream creates turbulence that causes the formation of loops and imparts a moderate bulk. 

In the voluminizing process, the glass yarns or strands run through the air nozzle without overfeeding, which creates a high bulk effect desired in various applications.
