What's the difference between metallic yarn

Metallic yarn is to cut the colored PET polyester film into very thin wires by physical methods! The surface layer of polyester or nylon film is plated with aluminum or silver by electroplating, and then cut into different width wires according to the needs.

In Guangdong and Fujian areas, metallic yarn is vividly called "green onion", which is the seasoning for cooking. It can be, but not necessarily; if it is, the food will be more delicious; if it is not, the food can still be eaten. This fully shows the status of gold and silver silk in the textile industry. At present, it is widely used in fashion, embroidery, gift packaging and other industries, as well as the processing of knitting wool, yarn, knitted fabric, warp knitted fabric, woven fabric, clothing accessories, decorative cloth, sofa cloth and other products. It is an ideal lining material.

After adding metallic yarn, all kinds of textiles can make the products have the color effects of reflection, flash, fluorescence, luminous, etc., which increases the beauty of clothing, greatly improves the added value of clothing, and meets the needs of most consumers. Because the chemical properties of the coating on the surface of metallic yarn are not stable, it is not as acid and alkali resistant as ordinary fiber.
