Air Jet Yarn Comparison
Air jet spinning is relatively new, only beginning to be widely used in the late 1990s (Leitner, 2012; Kadolph, 2007; Tyagi & Shaw, 2012). Before it was used, ringspinning and rotorspinning were the common ways of creating yarn (Leitner, 2012). However, it had its limitations. Now that the popularity of air jet yarns is growing, there are still differences that have to be considered. One of these is between Viscose fiber air jet yarns and Tencel fiber air jet yarns when it comes to the applications of end users of the product. Air jet fibers of all kinds produce less yarn "hair" on the fabrics and also create less lint (Leitner, 2012).
They also give a very even appearance to the fabric and improve the piling performance (Leitner, 2012). Knitted fabrics are made from air jet yarn such as Viscose at the present time, and it is believed that Tencel will expand the limits of air jet technology with regard to spinning (Leitner, 2012). The Tencel yarn and the fabric it is created from will also be a significant softness improvement over what is currently offered by Viscose (Leitner, 2012). One of the problems with Viscose fiber is that it was...
The strength of yarn fiber in making fabric has been a serious concern since textile creation began (Barber, 1994; Collier, 1970)
Tests with Tencel fiber, however, exceeded strength requirements that Viscose was not able to meet (Leitner, 2012). Tencel fabrics are being used in workwear and corporatewear now, as they provide superior quality (Leitner, 2012). With the strength of Tencel fiber air jet yarn, fabrics that would have traditionally needed ringspun yarn can be created. This can be a cost-effective way to create more fabrics for all types of work and home applications. Soon, woven fabrics can also be created based on Tencel air jet applications, which will allow for greater expansion of the air jet yarn market (Leitner, 2012).
Viscose is another air jet yarn application, although it does not have the strength and availability seen by Tencel. That does not mean it is not a good yarn, however, but only that it is not used in the same way and does not meet some of the same requirements that would be needed for woven fabrics. The higher packing density of air jet yarns is…

Air Quality Climate Change Integrated Policy Climate change has been a prominent issue in policy making since 20th century scientists discovered the detrimental effect of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere. Being responsible for the well-being and longevity of their people, governments have attempted to create policies to help their countries mitigate problems associated with climate change. However, integration seems to have been problematic on a variety of levels. There appears to
During pollution peaks, this department informs residents and announces any traffic restriction measures decided on by the town hall. Air quality has distinctly improved over the past two years and these restrictions are becoming less frequent" (Energy Agency of Municipality, 2001). These are all local methods of measuring pollution. Another means through which one can measure the level of CO2 in the air and which was used in Italy is
Air Quality Control In 1945, United Nations diplomats convened in order to position an organization to assist global health, now known as the World Health Organization (WHO) (WHO.int, 2008). The organization has since established numerous health campaigns and standards across the globe. One of the most significant concerns is the air quality of the world. With the help of the WHO, the world is able to be more knowledgeable and proactive
The Air We Breathe: The Importance of Indoor Air Quality INTRODUCTION Attention Getter: Did you know we spend as much as 90 percent of our time indoors, including the time spent sleeping, working, or going to school? (source: Canadian Lung Association, 2017) Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to educate the audience about the short and long term effects of poor indoor air quality, and the persuade the audience to take steps
Indoor Air Quality This report discusses viable options for reducing indoor pollutants in order to improve indoor air quality. This work focuses on three major concerns in regard to indoor air quality: poor ventilation, indoor smoking, and other indoor pollutants. The media bombards us daily with information regarding external pollution such as the emissions from automobiles, water contaminants, basic garbage and of course the smoke stacks of industry. But most
Pollution Strategies Improve Air Quality do not think that today's pollution strategies can improve our air quality. Although we are told by the media that the air quality is getting better, why then do incidence of asthma, cancer, acid rain, global warming, Greenhouse Gas levels and the hole in the ozone layer continue to get worse? Each year both larger conglomerates, smaller industrial companies, industrially strong nations like the
