CURLY YARN

From the technical point of view, curly yarn is mainly divided into two types: AYT (Air Textured Yarn) curly yarn and KDK (Knit de Knit) curly yarn. Today, we mainly introduce the AYT curly yarn which is commonly used as thatch yarn in landscaping artificial grass. AYT curly yarn is extruded by yarn production machines as the straight yarn initially, then it is texturized by the air pressure in the equipment.

Features:

  1. The main material for AYT curly yarn is Polypropylene (PP). PP is non-toxic, odourless, low density, good formability, and easy to colour, and its outstanding feature is bending resistance. Therefore, it is generally used for curly yarn.
