Abstract
The widely used conventional commodity yarns of polyamide (nylon 6 and nylon 66) and polyester (polyethylene terephthalate) are usually melt-spun from the standard polymer and the filaments have a round cross-section. The so-called ‘speciality yarns’ are also melt-spun either from a chemically modified polymer or through a process involving physical modification or special equipment. The wide spectrum of such yarns includes such diverse products as deep-dyeable nylons, cationic-dyeable polyesters, antistatic fibres, flame resistant fibres, hollow fibres, microporous fibres, fibres of different cross-sections and fine, ultra fine and micro fibres. The modified products offer a number of advantages and also lead to value addition to the product; this makes their production attractive. Their industrial production may involve some special considerations and these will be highlighted in this chapter.
