Functional yarns
Functional yarns are newer yarn types with properties that are particularly suitable or optimally adapted for the production of functional textiles or textiles with special performance parameters . They are often designed for specially defined requirements and operational situations. Examples of the requirements are: good moisture transport, moisture and sweat absorption, electrical conductivity, dirt repellency, thermoregulation, thermal insulation , UV absorption, infrared remission, sensor technology, bactericidal effect, absorption of (poison) gases, biomedical functions. When developing or using functional yarns, it is also important to include the overall clothing system in the consideration. This is the only way to achieve optimum clothing technology or the desired wearing comfort. A good example of this is the onion skin principle in the outdoor area . Both classic fibers such as B. polyamide , wool , polypropylene , polyester , viscose and high-performance fibers such. B. aramids or even steel fibers come. The demarcation to technical yarns is not clearly defined and fluid.
