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.

PVC has long been recognized for Exceptional Weathering Performance, Moisture Resistance and Abrasion Resistance.

EY builds on these basic properties by compounding additives for cold flexibility, fire resistance, and resistance to engine fluids. PVC also provides 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).
