Abstract

The range of man-made fibеrs and filament yarn is constantly expanding due to the appearance of new types of polymers and modifications to existing ones. SvetlogorskKhimvolokno Company has released on the textile yarn market about 18 types of new products. For research, the Quick Dry yarn was chosen, the main feature of which is an increased evaporation surface. This effect was achieved by physical modification of the yarn. The research work was carried out to assess the feasibility of combining the complex functional yarn Quick Dry with hydrophobic (polyester) fibers to give the combined yarn hygienic properties.

Experimental studies have been carried out on the process of a combined functional yarn on a ring spinning machine, during which rational technological modes are determined, which allow to provide the combined yarn with increased sorption properties. Comparative analysis of the absorbent properties of the combined functional yarns and conventional combined polyester yarns confirmed the feasibility of combining the Quick Dry functional yarn with hydrophobic fibers. The use of combined functional yarns of the analyzed composition for the manufacture of knitted products will improve their hygienic characteristics.
