Air Covered Spandex Yarn

Air Covered Spandex Yarn

Air Covered Spandex Yarn (ACY) is an elastic yarn produced by interlacing spandex filament with outer yarns such as nylon or polyester using compressed air instead of mechanical wrapping. This air covering process creates a cohesive yarn structure where the filaments are entangled around the spandex core, providing elasticity while maintaining a softer and more natural texture. Compared to traditional covered yarn, ACY offers better bulkiness, improved breathability, and lower production cost. With stable stretch performance, uniform yarn formation, and good processing adaptability, air covered spandex yarn supports efficient knitting and is widely used in various stretch textile applications.

Key Features
air covered spandex yarn
 
  • Stable Elasticity with Good Recovery

The spandex core ensures reliable stretch and rebound performance, allowing fabrics to maintain flexibility and shape stability during use.

  • Cost-Effective Production Solution

Compared to machine covered yarn, air covered yarn offers a more efficient production process, helping reduce manufacturing costs while maintaining stable performance.

 
  • Lightweight and Breathable Structure

Air interlacing forms a less compact yarn structure, improving breathability and making the yarn suitable for lightweight and comfortable textile products.

  • Smooth Processing Performance

With uniform yarn formation and stable tension, the yarn runs smoothly on knitting machines, supporting high-efficiency textile production.

FAQ

 

What is the main difference between air covered yarn and single covered yarn (SCY)?
Air covered yarn is produced by air interlacing, resulting in a softer and more bulky structure, while SCY is mechanically wrapped, offering a tighter and more compact yarn structure.

 

Does air covered spandex yarn have stable elasticity?
Yes. The spandex core provides consistent stretch and recovery, ensuring reliable elastic performance in textile applications.

 

What types of outer yarns can be used in ACY?
Common options include nylon and polyester filaments, which can be selected based on fabric requirements such as durability, softness, or cost.
