Textilur® Braid Yarns For Special Applications

EY manufactures yarns for special applications which are compounded for cold flexibility, fire resistance, and resistance to caustic fluids. Our formulations also provide abrasion resistance and a uniform surface for ease of braiding for protection of wire assemblies.

Engineered Yarns' Textilur® Special Braid Yarn Offerings Include:

EY-1877 Thermoplastic polyester elastomer coating over high tenacity polyester multifilament. Especially designed for immersion in hydraulic fluid, while meeting a service temperature range of -50°F to 280°F (-45°C to 138°C).
EY-2693 Polyurethane elastomer coating over Nylon multifilament, for applications requiring increased flexibility and high surface friction with good abrasion resistance.
EY-3071 Nylon 6-6 coating over high tenacity polyester multifilament. This yarn provides superior abrasion resistance, good heat stability and toughness.
EY-3023 Polyvinylidene fluoride extruded over high tenacity polyester multifilament. Designed to meet very demanding conditions within engine valve covers, with a temperature tolerance of -65°F to 300°F (-54°C to 150°C).
