PP BCF Heat Set Yarn

PP BCF Heat Set Yarn

As the name advocates, BCF yarn stands for Bulk Continuous Filament which is one long continuous strand of filament used in manufacturing of carpet& rugs. The polymer used to extrude yarn is Polypropylene. The heat setting is a thermosetting process which brings volumetric growth (Bulkiness), softness, resistance to wrinkles and temperature to the yarn.

PP BCF yarn are offered in Doped Dye, Raw White, Mono, Tri-colors in wide range of Decitex& filaments with or without UV treatment in Normal, Soft, Super Soft finishes. PP fibres are similar to natural Wool and Softalmost as Nylon and has economical advantage over Wool and Nylon.

Why Polypropylene BCF Heat Set yarn is just the right option for carpet making?

Polypropylene is a very light material as compared to other natural and polymers grade synthetic fibers. It has specific gravity of 0.90 compared to other fibres such as Viscose (Rayon) – 1.50, Polyester- 1.38, Cotton-1.54, Nylon-1.14, Wool-1.31, Acrylic- 1.17 and for Silk -1.33. Specific gravity of PP is less than the water ( 1.00) and its wide availability and cost economics makes it suitable for carpet & rug industry.Apart from above, the advantage of PP BCF yarn are :
