YARN CONDITIONING

BENEFITS ACHIEVED OUT OF CONDITIONING:
FOR KNITTING:
The treatment temperature for knitting yarn is held below the melting point of the wax. Temperatures for unwaxed
yarn are coordinated to the compatibility fo each individual type of yarn

• Upto 20% greater efficiency due to a reduction in the unwinding tension
• fewer needle breaks
• uniform moisture content and friction values
• regular stitch formation
• no change in size of finished articles
• no extra dampening required
• free from electrostatic
• less fly hence less problems. It helps if the yarn is  running on a closer gauge machines

NOTE: Please note that the wax applied should  be able to withstand min 60 degree centigrade.  If low quality wax is used, it will result in major problem. Conditioning should be done at 55 to 60 degree centigrade.
FOR WEAVING:

• upto 15% fewer yarn breaks due to greater elongation
• less fly, resulting in a better weaving quality
• increased strength
• increased take-up of size, enhanced  level of efficiency in the  weaving plant
• softer fabrics

FOR TWISTING:
Conditioning and fixing of the twist at the same time in a single process.
FOR DYEING:

• no streaks
• better dye affinity
