HDPE yarn for weaving

-- Steady & Reliable Manufacturer --

Introduction

HDPE yarn for weaving at GC FIBER is a high-density polyethylene multifilament made by the FDY (fully drawn yarn) process. Because the yarn is already fully drawn, it can go straight onto the warping or weft side of a loom without an extra drawing step.

The filaments have a flat cross-section. On the fabric this gives a smooth hand and a distinct cool feel when it touches the skin, which comes from the polymer and the filament shape rather than from a topical finish. The surface is smoother and a little slicker than standard polyester, so we suggest a short trial run to set tension before you commit to a full beam.

It suits weaving mills, home textile factories and trading companies that need a cooling yarn in a wide denier range. As a factory operating since 2006, we also make this yarn to order: custom denier, filament count, cross-section, and bi-component versions such as PE/PP or PE/Nylon, with samples and technical support from our R&D team.

Application

Weaving needs a yarn with even denier, stable tension and enough strength to survive the shed. A flat-filament FDY yarn meets these needs, and the cool touch adds a selling point to the finished fabric. Typical uses include:

  • Cooling bedding fabrics: woven sheets, pillowcases and summer quilt covers where surface coolness matters.

  • Mattress fabrics: ticking and cover cloth for summer-feel mattresses, mattress toppers and pads.

  • Upholstery and home decor: heavier 200D to 400D yarn for sofa covers, cushions and curtains.

  • Blended woven cloth: used with cotton, polyester or nylon to add cool touch or surface contrast.

  • Woven technical fabrics: 300D and 400D options for utility and industrial cloth.

Where bulk or a softer hand is needed in the weft, our PE Texture DTY yarn (30D to 75D) is often paired with the FDY warp.

Advantages

  • Wide denier range: 50D to 400D covers light shirting up to heavier home textile cloth from one supplier.

  • Cool touch without finishing: the effect belongs to the yarn, not to a coating that can wash out.

  • Stable quality: each process is inspected before shipment, with inspection to your requirements and international standards.

  • Custom production: special counts, cross-sections and bi-component structures made to your specification.

  • Factory direct: our own lines, raw material control and R&D team, with tracking support through the order.

Payment and Shipping

Payment terms

  • T/T (bank transfer) is our standard method; L/C at sight is accepted for qualified orders.

  • Deposit and balance terms are written into the quotation, so there are no surprises at shipment.

  • Sample orders can be settled by bank transfer or other methods we agree on with you.

Shipping and lead time

  • Goods ship from our factory base in Haian, Nantong, Jiangsu, with Shanghai seaport as the usual port of loading.

  • Sea freight for production quantities, express (DHL, FedEx, UPS) or air freight for samples and urgent lots.

  • Trade terms such as EXW, FOB Shanghai and CIF can be quoted according to your forwarder setup.

  • Lead time depends on denier, color and quantity, because the yarn is produced by order. The exact date is stated in the quotation.

  • Export packing is done in cartons on pallets, with labels showing denier, lot number and net weight.

We export to the United States, Germany, Japan, Spain, Italy, the United Kingdom, South Korea, Australia, Canada and many other countries. Inquiries are answered within 12 working hours.

  • Q: Can I use this HDPE yarn as both warp and weft?

  • A: Yes. The FDY yarn is fully drawn and has balanced strength and elongation, so it can be used in either direction. Many mills use FDY in the warp and a textured DTY yarn in the weft for more bulk.

  • Q: Which denier should I choose for weaving?

  • A: For lightweight bedding and shirting fabrics, 50D to 100D is the usual range. For home decor, upholstery and heavier cloth, 200D to 400D is more common. Tell us your fabric weight and density and we will suggest a count.

  • Q: Will it run on my existing looms?

  • A: It is designed for normal weaving. Because the surface is smooth, warp tension and sizing or lubrication settings may need a small adjustment, so we recommend a trial beam first. Our team can share handling suggestions.

  • Q: Does heat setting or ironing damage the fabric?

  • A: Polyethylene melts at roughly 125 to 135 C, far below polyester. Finishing, heat setting and ironing should be run at lower temperatures. Share your process route and we will advise.

  • Q: Can it be blended with cotton or polyester?

  • A: Yes. It is commonly woven with cotton, polyester or nylon yarns. We can also make bi-component PE/PP or PE/Nylon structures if you need different performance.

  • Q: Can I get samples before placing a bulk order?

  • A: Yes. Send us the denier, color and end use, and we will arrange sample cones. Samples ship by express.
