High Temperature Processing Yarn Comparison Guide

Plied Glass Processing Yarn (Continuous Filament)

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Plied Glass Processing Yarn manufactured from continuous filament E Glass fibres. Plied yarn is produced by twisting two or more single glass yarns together to create a stronger, more cohesive and more processable textile yarn.

The plying process improves yarn integrity, abrasion resistance and handling characteristics whilst maintaining the excellent thermal, mechanical and electrical insulation properties associated with continuous filament glass fibres.

Plied Glass Processing Yarn is widely used in the manufacture of woven glass cloths, thermal tapes, electrical insulation tapes, thermal webbings, braided sleeving and industrial textiles.

Multi-Plied E Glass Processing Yarn & Cord

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Multi-Plied E Glass Processing Yarn & Cord manufactured by twisting together multiple plied glass yarns to create a larger, stronger and more durable yarn construction.

These cabled yarns provide increased tensile strength, improved abrasion resistance and enhanced handling characteristics compared with standard plied yarns. Typical constructions include multi-stage yarns such as 68/3/3 and similar cable constructions used throughout the high temperature textiles industry.

The increased bulk and stability of multi-plied yarns make them particularly suitable for applications where durability and seam integrity are important. Multi-plied constructions are widely used in the manufacture of high temperature sewing threads, heat tracing insulation products and specialist thermal textiles where repeated handling, flexing and abrasion may occur.

By combining multiple plied yarns into a single cabled structure, Multi-Plied E Glass Processing Yarn & Cord provides an excellent balance of strength, flexibility and processability whilst maintaining the thermal and electrical insulation properties associated with continuous filament E Glass fibres.

Silica Processing Yarn

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Silica Processing Yarn manufactured from high silica fibre technology for applications requiring exceptional thermal resistance and protection against extreme heat.

Silica yarns offer excellent resistance to thermal shock, low thermal conductivity and continuous operating temperatures up to 1000°C. These properties make them ideal for severe thermal environments.

Typical applications include welding fabrics, thermal curtains, fire barriers, furnace insulation systems and high temperature protective textiles.

Ceramic Processing Yarn

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Ceramic Processing Yarn manufactured from refractory ceramic fibres for applications operating beyond the capabilities of conventional glass fibre products.

Ceramic Processing Yarn provides outstanding thermal insulation performance and is widely used in furnace insulation systems, thermal seals, expansion joints, high temperature packings and industrial process equipment.

Its exceptional temperature capability makes it suitable for the most demanding thermal environments.

Bio Soluble Processing Yarn

Textile Technologies Europe Ltd supplies Bio Soluble Processing Yarn manufactured using advanced alkaline earth silicate (AES) fibre technology. These yarns combine excellent thermal insulation properties with low thermal conductivity and good textile processing performance.

Bio Soluble Processing Yarn is widely used in thermal insulation systems, thermal seals, expansion joints, industrial textiles and high temperature insulation products where effective heat management is required.
