Hybrid yarn

In the hybrid yarn , two or more different fiber properties are combined in layers in one yarn . The name is derived from the Greek freely translated "from two different origins, mixed, compound". Hybrid yarns can also be referred to as technical functional yarns .

With Dref 2000 or Dref3 technology it is possible to produce core / sheath structures in the yarn. For example, a high-strength yarn core made of Kevlar can be wound with a skin-friendly sheath made of viscose . A velvety soft but highly cut-resistant glove can then be produced from this. However, a sensitive core material (e.g. carbon fiber ) can also be provided with a protective coating in order to enable further industrial processing at all. In addition, a filament or monofilament core can be incorporated into hybrid yarns, so that yarns can be constructed from up to three components or three relatively clearly defined layers.

Possible core fibers are e.g. B. para- aramid , meta-aramid, polyester , polyester HT, glass filament, wire, stainless steel, carbon, monofilament.

Possible sheath fibers are e.g. B. para-aramid, meta-aramid, viscose FR, polycolon , polyester, melamine fiber, polypropylene, modacrylic, polyamide, wool , cotton.
