OBS

Le gonflant constitue [...] une caractéristique générale de tous les fils texturés. Au cours des divers traitements les filaments constitutifs [...] sont frisés et leurs ondulations viennent se superposer en désordre d'où l'apparition du volume et quelquefois de l'élasticité [...] le volume initial du fil se trouve augmenté. Ce fil devient plus couvrant et il permet de fabriquer des articles plus légers.
