Specific
Gravity
The specific gravity of Essegomma yarn is lower than the other textile fibers and it is the only one which floats.
Therefore, it offers great economic advantages during weaving. The hollow yarn “LEG” can weigh 50% less than polyester (See the
table under material property
table).
-
Treatment
All Essegomma yarn is UV stabilized. On request, it is possible to increase the resistance, producing yarns suitable for external
applications
-
Color fastness
Essegomma, in addition to using only non toxic masterbatches, also offers the possibility of improving the light fastness for each
color. Essegomma color resistance is between 6 and 8 on the Din 5400 A scale (blue). Regarding this matter,
please specify your requirements when placing inquiries and orders
-
Other
treatments on request
Heat-setting: to reduce the effect of twist and to decrease the shrinkage during the finishing
process
Anti dust mite/Antibacterial: ideal for all types of furnishing fabrics, especially for asthmatics or people with
allergies
Flame retardant for contract furnishing
