What is Spinning?

​

Spinning, in textiles, the process of drawing out fibers from a mass and twisting them together to form a continuous thread or yarn. In man-made fiber production, the name is applied to the extrusion of a solution to form a fiber, a process similar to the method by which silkworms and similar insect larvae produce filament to make their cocoons from a viscous fluid that they secrete. 

Common industrial spinning techniques include ring spinning, open-end (rotor) spinning, and air-jet spinning.

 

What is Sizing?

​

Production of ‘quality fabric economically and efficiently is a key aim of any textile company. Sizing is an intermediate protective process that is done to prepare the yarn for the weaving process. The process of applying a protective adhesive (synthetic/ natural) coating upon the surface of the yarn is called sizing. This adhesive can be a single shot sizing chemical or a blend of multiple chemicals to achieve desired properties.

Advantages of Warp Yarn Sizing in Weaving:

​

Below are the key advantages of warp yarn sizing prior to weaving.

1. To bind the yarn by adhering the fibers together and hence improve yarn strength.

2. To cover the outer yarn surface for improving the abrasion resistance of the warp yarn.

3. To lubricate the yarn surface for reducing friction during the weaving process by preventing inter yarn entanglement and surface abrasion. This reduction of friction helps to keep the yarn intact and hence better fabric quality.

We offer a variety of Spinning and Sizing agents. Some of them are displayed below with their properties.
