PP BCF CARPET YARNS TESTING METHODS
All carpet yarns are tested for Dtex, Shrinkage, Crimp, Tensile Strength, Tenacity, Elongation, Spin finish oil and Twist.
Shrinkage test
Crimp test
Crimp of the yarn is effecting its bulkness and directly proportional with its covering power that is joly important for the use in carpet applications.
Strength test
Elongation Test
elongation of yarn is important for not to cause any residual strain on creel due to beat up of reed at each weft insertion
Ratio of elongation in bcf yarns can effect the final covering power of the yarn on the piles.
Spin finish oil test
Spin finish oil is mainly for antistatic effect, dust reduction and easy flow of yarn on subsequent processes the final ratio of finish oil on yarn is determined and controlled.
Why Polypropylene bcf yarn for carpet?
Polipropilen is very light material when compared with other fibers ( specific gravity of polypropylene is 0.90 gr/cc this value is 1.38 for polyester, 1.52 for viscose (rayon) , 1.54 for cotton, 1.57 for flax (linen) 1.31 for wool, 1.13 for nylon , 1.17 for acrylic and 1.33 for silk )
This means that covereing power of pp is highest amoung all fibers that enables manifacturers to get much more bulky effect when using pp .
Polypropylene is very resistant to acids, alkalines.
Mildews, fungus and bacteries can not penetrate or live in polypropylene that makes it very suitable yarn for carpet application.
Due to its very low moisture and water absorbancy ( %0,05) Polypropylene is hygienic fiber and prevents the material from generation of bacteries and microorganisms.
Other Applications of Polypropylene Yarns
The flexibility, tenacity, chemical resistance, colour fastness and abrasion properties of the Polypropylene Yarn make it particularly suitable for a multitude of applications.
Tape: Sports, industrial, military, flexible containers or slings.
Ropes: Geotextile, industrial upholstery fabric, sports and travel equipment, rugs and carpets, filters, cloths, fabrics for the home, mattresses, blankets and garden furniture.
