Alphabetical list of terms

Record 1 2005-12-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Thread Spinning (Textiles)
DEF

A type of texturising [in which] partially orientated yarn(POY) is first twisted in one direction and then untwisted by thermal and mechanical means [making possible] the production of yarn with a high bulk/stretch potential, which can also be controlled.

CONT

False twist texturizing of microfilaments.

Key term(s)
  • false twist-texturizing
  • false twist-texturing

French

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

La texturation par fausse torsion consiste à étirer un fil de filaments, à le torsionner et à le chauffer de façon simultanée. Ce procédé très efficient permet de gonfler un fil pour lui conférer des propriétés thermo-isolantes ou autres, en plus de lui procurer des caractéristiques tactiles et visuelles propres. Le produit final est bobiné sur des tubes utilisés dans les procédés subséquents de teinture, de tissage et de tricotage.

Record 2 2002-10-28

English

Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

Synthetic elastic fibre with at least 85% segmented polyurethane.

CONT

Spandex-A generic term denoting a [manufactured] elastomeric fiber used in place of rubber. Spandex... offering the unique capacity for stretch and recovery. It can stretch to over five times its relaxed strength and fully recover. Spandex is used in support and light support products to provide the energy to shape and compress the leg.... Spandex is widely used in sock tops and pantyhose waistbands for its stretch/recovery properties and "stay up" holding power. It is increasingly used in corespun yarn and as plaiting yarn to replace textured nylon for better size range, improved fit, and comfort.

Domaine(s)
  • Filature (Textiles)
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
DEF

Record 7 1993-11-05

English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Textile Weaving (Textile Industries)
DEF

Small slub-like irregularities in the yarn that are readily extensible.

OBS

This defect is often caused by the unintentional introduction of stretch into some fibres during drafting and the subsequent relaxation of these fibres to form loops or crimps in the yarn.

OBS

cocklet yarn: Term and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Tissage (Industries du textile)
DEF

Irrégularités du fil sous forme d'effet bouclé facilement extensibles.

OBS

Ce défaut est souvent causé par une extension involontaire de certaines fibres durant l'étirage et la relaxation successive de celles-ci, provoquant un effet de boucle ou de frisure dans le fil.

OBS

fil ondulé : Terme et définition normalisés par l'ISO.
