- The antimicrobial features of polyester yarn DTY include the use of plasma-assisted antimicrobial finishing, which allows for a small dosage of antimicrobial agents, ensuring high safety.
- Ions graft polymerization ensures that the antibacterial agents will not easily detach, resulting in excellent durability.
- The antimicrobial agents in the polyester yarn do not require resin finishing agent, making the resulting products soft and not stiff.
- The simplified manufacturing process of antimicrobial polyester yarn reduces production costs, enhances product competitiveness, and improves cost-effectiveness.
- The anti-odor polyester yarn has small pore structure loaded with active groups. Odors are captured in the pore structure, and then react and neutralized by the active groups.
The antimicrobial & anti-odor polyester yarn DTY is modified using low-temperature plasma metal coating. It involves exposing the yarn to a low-temperature plasma, which is a highly ionized gas, leading to physical modification and chemical activation of functional groups (such as -OH, -COOH, -C=O) on the fiber. This enables the grafting of antimicrobial agents like silver ions and zinc ions onto the surface of the yarn fibers. As a result, the yarn exhibits superior antimicrobial and durability properties. This advanced manufacturing technology offers greater abrasion resistance, improved safety, and better wash durability compared to similar products in the market.
Polyester yarn DTY is available in seven different specifications: 55D/36F, 75D/36F, 85D/36F, 75D/72F, 150D/72F, 150D/144F, and 150D/288F. It consists of 100% polyester and is classified as AA-grade antimicrobial & anti-odor polyester. This variety of options aims to meet the diverse needs of customers.
