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.
