How to prevent fuzzing and pilling of nylon DTY yarn

Nylon DTY (Drawn Textured Yarn) yarn is favored for its excellent physical properties and wide range of applications. However, the problems of fluffing and pilling often cause trouble to consumers and manufacturers in actual use. In order to improve the performance and appearance of nylon DTY yarn, it is particularly important to prevent fuzzing and pilling.

Choosing the right yarn and fabric construction is key when it comes to preventing fuzzing and pilling. High-quality nylon DTY yarn is the basis for reducing the risk of fuzzing and pilling. Generally speaking, yarns with high strength and low twist perform better in terms of friction resistance and can significantly reduce the occurrence of fuzzing and pilling. In addition, the weaving method and density of the fabric also have a direct impact on the occurrence of fuzzing and pilling. The tightly woven structure effectively reduces friction between fibers, thereby reducing the possibility of fuzzing and pilling. For example, plain weaves are more effective at preventing pilling than knitted fabrics. At the same time, controlling the twist of yarn is also an important measure. Appropriate twist can not only enhance the stability of the yarn, but also reduce the probability of fuzzing and pilling. Yarns with too little twist tend to loosen, which can lead to fiber breakage and pilling.

Improving the post-processing process is also an important step in reducing fluff and pilling. Improving the smoothness of the yarn surface through physical or chemical methods can effectively reduce friction and reduce the risk of fluffing and pilling. Common treatments include heat setting and applying antistatic agents. In addition, during the dyeing and finishing process, rational selection of softeners and antistatic agents can significantly improve the feel and anti-pilling performance of the yarn. The choice of softener should be based on the characteristics of the yarn to avoid negative effects on the fiber. In the post-finishing stage, using anti-pilling finishing agents to treat the fabric can enhance its anti-pilling ability. This type of finish typically reduces friction by forming a protective film on the fiber surface, thereby reducing the occurrence of fuzz and pilling.

Optimizing washing and maintenance methods cannot be ignored either. During the washing process, it is recommended to use mild detergent and choose cold or warm water for washing whenever possible to avoid damage to the fibers caused by high temperatures. At the same time, avoid using detergents containing bleaching ingredients to avoid damaging the fiber structure. When washing, you should choose a gentle washing mode to avoid excessive stirring and friction. Using mesh bag washing can effectively reduce direct friction between fabrics. In addition, choosing natural drying or low-temperature drying can avoid damage to fibers caused by high-temperature drying. High-temperature drying may not only cause fiber deformation, but may also accelerate the occurrence of fluffing and pilling.
