applications and technology
applications and technology
Considering though orientation of the force taking yarns this fabric is comparable to a woven fabric. However, there is the advantage that yarns are directly oriented and lie absolutely straight in the fabric. This means that there is no loss of tenacity as in the woven due to its crimp effect. Furthermore, the yarn-protective inlay system prevents all fiber damage.

Warping facilities
Warping is defined as the parallel winding of yarn from a cone onto a warp beam.
This process is necessary for the warp knitting production preparation.
2 warping facilities are part of our machine fleet.
Warp knitting facilities
Warp knitting is particularly well suited to the production of sequential lengths of fabric, composites, conveyor belts, safety clothing, advertising banners and so on.
We have several knitting machine technologies capable of meeting most of our customers’ projects.
Finishing facilities
Heat-setting is a heat treatment by which shape retention, crease resistance, resilience, and elasticity are imparted to the fibers. It also brings changes in strength, stretchability, softness, dyeability, and sometimes on the color of the material.
Before conducting the fabric into the oven for heat-setting, we can add functionalities by dipping it inside a solution of various primer formulas : stiffeners, flame retardant treatments, etc.
Dyeing : flexibility is our strength
Our company has the capability to dye fabrics with Over flow and Jet HT technologies, particularly to answer the PPE market when the flexibility is necessary thanks to a low MOQ (300ml).
R&D
Our labt and the knowledge and expertise of our R&D team mean that we can assess our developments at every stage of the design process. This supervised approach saves you valuable time and increases the reliability of your certification processes.
