ATY - Air Textured Polyamide 6.6 Yarns
SOFT AND NATURAL HAND FEEL
ATY yarns feature a voluminous, soft and irregular filament structure that mimics the appearance and hand feel of natural fibres while maintaining the high performance of synthetic polyamide. They are widely used for fabrics requiring a natural look with technical functionality.
How it is made?
ATY (Air Textured Yarn) is a synthetic yarn produced by feeding continuous filaments into a high-pressure air-jet nozzle, which tangles, separates, and loops the fibers. This mechanical process transforms smooth, dense industrial filaments into a bulky, soft yarn with a "spun-like" hand-feel.
PROPERTIES
High bulk and coverage
The air-textured structure provides excellent volume and fabric coverage, enhancing opacity and giving textiles a fuller, more consistent appearance.
Soft and natural hand feel
The irregular filament structure delivers a soft, comfortable touch, improving wearability and giving fabrics a more natural aesthetic.
Enhanced comfort and processability
ATY yarns ensure good handling during fabric production and deliver lightweight, breathable textiles suitable for a wide range of apparel applications.
