Multifilament Non Woven Fabric

A multifilament yarn is composed of a bundle of very thin, infinitely long threads referred to as filaments. Multifilament yarns contain a multitude of fine, continuous filaments (often 5 to 100 individual filaments) usually with some twist in the yarn to facilitate handling. Because of their large effective surface area, multifilaments can be heat-treated more homogenously during drawing and as a result they have greater specific strength and higher modulus. Because of the very small diameters of the filaments, their bending stiffness is much lower than that of monofilaments, leading to much more flexible end-products. Furthermore, using multifilament yarns, denser fabrics can be obtained yielding smaller pores.
