  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
DEF

A yarn with a significantly higher breaking tenacity than others of the same generic category, generally used because of that main characteristic.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
CONT

La résistance à la rupture des fils et des fibres joue un grand rôle [...] dans le cadre des usages courants, étant donné qu'à résistance égale un fil haute ténacité (HT) sera plus fin qu'un fil ordinaire et fournira donc un tissu plus léger (pour robes d'été par exemple).
