PA 6.6 monofilament plasma silver coated 
dtex 13 & dtex 17 

Plasma silver coated yarns in polyamide and polyester or other filament substrates
  
Plasma silver coated yarns are very special. 
If you need high quality and more precise coated yarn then plasma coated yarns are the right products. 

Any filament yarn works well in plasma coating. Finest so far was a silver coating on PA 66 monofilament dtex 11 f 1 - coarsest is a PET high tenacity 1100 dtex multifilament yarn. 

The conductivity of these yarns can be engineered to your request and is very regular along the yarn. Ideal for process management applications. The coating is very thin and ensures that the final product still has a textile touch.

Plasma gold coated yarns on any multi- or monofilament substrate
  
Precious metals have always been of great interest to mankind. Imagine what products one can develop if a precious metal like gold had the properties of a filament yarn! This is no longer fiction - it is possible. Tersuisse - our supplier partner for high tenacity polyester yarns - has acquired the patents and the prototype equipment of EMPA Switzerland for plasma coating filament yarns with any metal.
End uses? Just a few ideas:
Fabrics for decoration, home furnishing, medical, engineering, jewellery, computing, electronic components, watches....
Why plasma gold coated?
Coating a filament yarn by the plasma coating method gives much better wear, it is a perfect level coating, little to no conductivity fluctuation, is easy to process in the textile chain and products on the fashion side have a wonderful noble appearance. Interested? 

Plasma coated yarns - other metals 

Tersuisse is in a position to metallize most continuous filament yarns in a new process called plasma metal coating, be it mono- or multifilaments. The metals and alloys which we have done so far are:

• gold

• silver

• aluminum

• inox 316L

• copper

• brass

• titanium

• chromium

In other metals there is no experience for the time being. The technicians believe that a nickel plasma coating should be possible too but it has to be re-confirmed with trials.
