Polyolefin fibres, such as polypropylene and polyethylene, are manmade artificial textile fibres valued for their durability, lightweight properties, and resistance to chemicals. Used in applications like carpets, geotextiles, and apparel, these fibres offer cost-effective solutions while posing environmental challenges due to their non-biodegradable nature.

Elastomeric fibers are those fibers that possess extremely high elongations at break and that recover fully and rapidly from high elongations up to their breaking point. The fibers are all used in specialized applications where high elasticity is necessary within the textile structure. An Elastomer is a polymer with the physical property of elasticity. The elastomer is a term derived from elastic polymer, which is often used interchangeably with the term rubber.

Threads are usually made up of several single strands twisted or plied together. The numbering system for threads has two parts: one related to the thickness of the single strand and the other to the number of strands (ply). Whereas the ply is expressed in thickness and the single strand is specified as a ?count? related to the length per unit weight. Cotton Count system, Tex system, and the Metric Ticket system are some of the commonly used thread numbering systems.
