Plied yarns are very simply multiple strands of yarn twisted together. The incoming strands of yarn – known as ‘singles’ – have a twist applied to them during their manufacture, and by twisting two or more singles together in the opposite direction, a plied yarn is created. Two plied singles makes a 2-ply, three plied singles make a 3-ply, and so on, and by plying together plied yarns – a process known as cabling – even greater strand counts can be achieved.
Plied and cabled yarns are used for a wide variety of applications throughout the world, in many different formats. Their benefits over singles yarn include an improvement in tensile strength, by virtue of the twist applied to the fibre – the more twist the higher the strength. Plying also allows for a greater range of product weights to be supplied over and above the singles yarns. The plying process also encapsulates the individual fibre filaments inside the plied bundle, thereby reducing the impact of any filament faults.
The list of raw materials commonly used to make plied yarns is very expansive – from natural fibres such as cotton, wool, silk, jute or hessian, through polyester, nylon and polypropylene, to more advanced fibres such as basalt, high density polyethylene, aramids, NEET and PEET. Glass fibres are also very commonly used as a base for plied yarn constructions, and Multiple Winding specialises in plied glass yarn manufacture, producing a diverse range of materials utilising singles supplied from all major global glass manufacturers, to exacting specifications and unparalleled quality standards. If plied yarn is your need, Multiple Winding can provide it. // read more
Our Multi-End Winding division is exactly that – winding multiple ends together; it is also more than that, winding single or plied fibres onto a wide variety of core designs. Multi-end winding differs from plying in that the fibres are wound parallel to each other on the bobbin.
A specialist product that forms a key part of our Multi End Winding range is our MultiComp fibre – a range of lightweight 2-ply fibres which comprise one ply of glass fibre, and one of polyester. These products can be supplied as a two-ply fibre on a bulk package, or can be parallel wound with up to 45 ends together, with a wide range of core sizes and winding patterns available to suit your needs.
Huayuan supply professional and honest service.
We can also wind fibres either of our own supply, or yours, onto a variety of different core types, including braider bobbins for electrical wire braiding, or Kingspools for cable wrapping. Whatever your needs, we are confident that we have the capability to meet them. // read more
Glass fibre yarns are made of E-glass with a thermal resistance of 600°C and HR-glass with a thermal resistance of 800°C, whereas plied glass fibre yarns are made of both E-glass with a thermal resistance of 600°C and SiO2-glass with a thermal resistance of +°C. Each glass type has its own properties, hence also application areas.
Yarn that consists of 400 to 1,600 whole glass fiber filaments (aka continuous fiberglass threads) is a simple textile product in which the yarns are bound with sizing and the first twist and has a broad application in weaving. The filament diameter is from 6 to 13 µm. The broad selection of yarn types and sizes makes it possible to use them in all various applications.
Plied yarn is made of single yarn, twisting two or more yarns in the opposite direction and winding it on the bobbins. Technical specifications of plied yarns are the same as those of single yarns. The twisting process provides for a yarn with a higher tex number and a higher twist, thus improving its technological properties for further textile processing: better tensile strength and friction resistance, better resistance to mechanical damages, etc.
