Vliesgarnen

Vliesgarnen, often translated as non-woven yarns or fiber yarns, are a type of yarn that does not undergo the traditional spinning process. Instead, they are created by entangling, bonding, or interlocking fibers together. This process can be achieved through various methods, including mechanical entanglement (like needle-punching), chemical bonding (using adhesives), or thermal bonding (using heat to fuse thermoplastic fibers).

The resulting Vliesgarnen have a unique structure compared to spun yarns. They tend to be bulkier and softer, with a matte appearance. Their strength is derived from the inter-fiber cohesion rather than the twist of individual fibers. This characteristic can make them less durable under high abrasion compared to spun yarns, but also contributes to their comfort and drape.

Vliesgarnen find applications in a range of industries. They are commonly used in the production of textiles for upholstery, blankets, and interlinings, where their softness and bulk are desirable. In the industrial sector, they are utilized in filtration media, geotextiles, and insulation materials due to their porous structure and ability to trap particles. The manufacturing process of Vliesgarnen is often more cost-effective than traditional spinning, making them an attractive option for certain applications. Their properties can be further tailored by varying the type of fiber used, the bonding method, and the density of the final product.
