Metallic Yarn

1) Coating process
Aluminum metallized PET film is lacquered with protective epoxy resin to keep a shiny looking metallized surface. In case of Gold and colors, appropriate quantity of metal complex dyestuffs are mixed with Resin measured by an accurate electronic scale. Our most concern, tension control, starts at this process. Our machine is equipped with fully automatic tension control, temperature control and web guide devices

2) Wide cutting / Pancake process 
Protective lacquered film is cut into 2” to 5” wide pancakes. Our machine is equipped with fully automatic tension control, web guide and oiling devices.

3) Micro slitting & winding process
Wide cut pancake roll is being slit into various sizes while film passes through a cutting head and being wound on spools ( Max. 450pcs of spools ). This process requires intensive tension control. Our machine is equipped with fully automatic tension control and oiling devices. Moreover our Korean technician is highly skilled for more than 30 years to control slitting tension.

4) Bobbin winding process
20D PA-6 / Nylon mono filament yarn is spooled on well balanced bakelite bobbins.

5) Single/Double covering process
M-type metallic yarn is covered/twisted/supported with 20D PA-6, 2ends at 280TPM +/- 5. TPM is regularly checked with Stroboscope.

6) Single Covering process
Viscose rayon, or Polyester yarn is single covered with M-type metallic yarn.

7) Vacuum setting process
MH, MHS and ST types are steam set to remove self-tangling effect.

8) Cone winding process
MX, MH, MHS and ST types are re-wound into tapered paper cones. Our tension control by an accurate gauge is being finished at this process.
