ACY(Air Covered Yarn) environmentally friendly yarn White/Black

Product description:

ACY (Air Covered Yarn) is an innovative textile material that combines elastic yarn with core fibers using air cover technology, which is light, soft and comfortable. This yarn is not only widely used in clothing, underwear and sportswear, but is also popular for its durability and versatility. The core fiber of ACY yarn protects the natural softness of the outer yarn, while improving the breathability and fluffiness of the fabric, avoiding possible damage from mechanical wrapping. The production process of ACY yarn focuses on environmental protection, complies with international environmental certification standards, and ensures the sustainability and safety of products. Our ACY yarns are available in white and black color options and are suitable for the production of a wide range of textiles, including woven and knitted fabrics.

Air Covered Yarn
ACY / Air Covered / Polyester

polyester ACY

Air Covered Yarn (ACY) utilizes high-pressure air jet technology to intermingle spandex core with textured polyester filaments, creating a yarn with exceptional elasticity and smooth surface. This advanced process eliminates traditional twisting, resulting in torque-free performance and superior fabric stability. The air covering method ensures uniform filament distribution, producing fabrics with outstanding stretch recovery, soft hand feel, and excellent dimensional stability. ACY is the preferred choice for high-performance apparel where comfort, fit, and durability are paramount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What distinguishes ACY from traditional covered yarns?

ACY uses high-pressure air to intermingle filaments instead of twist, delivering lower torque, better softness, and higher production efficiency with uniform coverage.

What is the ideal washing temperature for ACY fabrics?

Maximum 40°C washing temperature is recommended to preserve elastane elasticity and prevent premature relaxation of the spandex core.

Is ACY suitable for warp knitting applications?

Yes, ACY performs well in warp knitting with appropriate tension settings. Lower yarn tension helps avoid over-stretching the spandex core.

Does air covering affect fabric breathability?

The air covering process creates micro-voids in the yarn structure, enhancing moisture wicking and breathability of finished fabrics.

Storage & Handling

Temperature Maintain 18-24°C to preserve spandex elasticity and yarn integrity.
Humidity Keep 50-60% RH to prevent static electricity buildup during processing.
Light Protect from direct UV exposure to prevent degradation of elastane.
Handling Minimize tension on spandex core to maintain consistent stretch properties.

Product Overview

Our ACY yarn is produced by intermingling a spandex core with textured polyester filaments using high-pressure air jets. This process eliminates twisting, resulting in a torque-free yarn with superior elasticity, softness, and dimensional stability. The air-covering method creates micro-voids that enhance breathability and moisture wicking, making it ideal for high-performance fabrics.

  • Core: Spandex (elastane) for stretch and recovery
  • Cover: Polyester DTY for strength and surface smoothness
  • Elongation: 150-300% for versatile stretch
  • Method: Air jet covering for torque-free performance
