Introduction : Hot melt yarn is a type of yarn that is coated with or made from a thermoplastic material that melts when heat is applied. Upon cooling, it solidifies, creating a bond between the yarn and other materials.
Features :
Thermoplastic Properties: Hot melt yarn is made from thermoplastic materials that become soft and sticky when heated, allowing it to bond with other materials.
Adhesive Functionality: It acts as an adhesive when melted, making it ideal for applications requiring strong, durable bonding between layers of fabric or other materials.
Customizable Melting Points: The melting point of hot melt yarn can be tailored based on the specific application, usually ranging between 90°C to 180°C.
Excellent Wash Resistance: Once cooled and solidified, the bonds created by hot melt yarn are resistant to washing and wear, ensuring long-lasting durability.
Eco-Friendly: Often, hot melt yarns are designed to be solvent-free and environmentally friendly, reducing the need for additional adhesives or chemicals.
Versatile Applications: Commonly used in textiles, automotive interiors, footwear, and technical fabrics, particularly in processes like laminating, bonding, and embossing.
