Abstract

Blending of nylon filament with viscose can overcome the drawbacks of these yarns. Thermoplastic and thermoset filament yarns can be blended in air-jet texturising method. The characteristics of nylon/viscose blended filament yarns are required to be understood in order to convert them in to useful products. Therefore, nylon/viscose blended yarns in different proportions were produced using nylon 6 and viscose filament yarns in air jet texturising machine. The textured yarns were also produced in dry and pre-wet conditions to understand the effect of water on textured yarn characteristics. It was found that the loops frequency, bulkiness of nylon/viscose blended textured yarns increase with increase in viscose proportion. The Loops stability, tenacity and breaking elongation decrease with increase in viscose proportion. Pre-wet textured yarn show higher loops, bulkiness, and good loop stability than their corresponding dry textured yarns.
