- The antimicrobial features of nylon yarn DTY include the use of plasma-assisted antimicrobial finishing, which allows for a small dosage of antimicrobial agents, ensuring high safety.
- Ions graft polymerization ensures that the antibacterial agents will not easily detach, resulting in excellent durability.
- The antimicrobial agents in the nylon yarn do not require a resin finishing agent, making the resulting products soft and not stiff.
- The simplified manufacturing process of antimicrobial nylon yarn reduces production costs, enhances product competitiveness, and improves cost-effectiveness.
- The nylon yarn holds certifications such as OEKO-TEX100, ISO9000, ISO45001, ISO14000, and GRS, ensuring reliable and stable product quality.
- The advantages of nylon yarn: wear-resistant, impact-resistant, anti-static, corrosion-resistant
The antimicrobial nylon yarn DTY is modified using low-temperature plasma metal coating. It involves exposing the yarn to a low-temperature plasma, which is a highly ionized gas, leading to physical modification and chemical activation of functional groups (such as -OH, -COOH, -C=O) on the fiber. This enables the grafting of antimicrobial agents like silver ions and zinc ions onto the surface of the yarn fibers. As a result, the yarn exhibits superior antimicrobial and durability properties. This advanced manufacturing technology offers greater abrasion resistance, improved safety, and better wash durability compared to similar products in the market.
Nylon yarn DTY is available in six different specifications: 40D/24F, 50D/24F, 70D/24F, 70D/48F, 140D/48F, and 140D/96F. It consists of 100% nylon and is classified as AA-grade antimicrobial nylon. This variety of options aims to meet the diverse needs of customers.
Silver ions can disrupt the bacterial cell membrane, coagulate bacterial proteins, interfere with their metabolism, and inhibit bacterial growth and reproduction, resulting in antimicrobial and sterilizing effects. After bacteria die, silver ions can be released from the cells and continue inhibiting the growth of bacteria, providing long-lasting antimicrobial effects. Furthermore, the antimicrobial performance of nylon yarn DTY is not affected even after washings.
