Product-dependant quality criteria
In addition to the standard quality criteria, there are a number of product-dependent requirements. This applies in particular to the manufacture of technical textiles.…
Polyetheretherketone fibres (PEEK)
The polymer is formed by polycondensation. The fibres are obtained by melt spinning.
Polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT)
Polymerisation takes place through polycondensation. The fibre is obtained through melt spinning.
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)
The polymer is formed by polymerisation. The polytetrafluoroethylene fibres are manufactured using a process known as matrix spinning, a type of wet spinning process.
Polypropylene (PP)
Polymerisation is used to form the polymer. The polypropylene fibres are spun using a melt spinning process.
Polyethylene (PE)
Polymerisation is used to form the polymer. The polyethylene fibres are produced using a melt spinning process.
Para-aramid (P-AR)
Para-aramids are manufactured by polycondensation and spun using the wet spinning process.
Polyamide (PA)
Polymer formation occurs in PA 6.6 through polycondensation and in PA 6 through polymerisation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
Polyester (PES)
Polymer formation takes place through polycondensation. The fibre is obtained through the melt spinning process.
