Improving Warp Yarn at the Size Box
Physical properties of warp yarn are improved by incorporating oligomer resin into the yarn interior at the size box. These improvements yield benefits at each step of the fabric formation process from size box to the woven greige fabric. Warp sizing technology has been in a period of stagnation following the introduction of synthetic polymers into size formulations nearly 60 years ago. As noted in the following “Warp Sizing: A Brief History”, abrasion-resistant surface barriers may have reached optimum performance in sizing.

Textile Fabric Types by Fiber Sources
Generally, a set number of yarns are used for the formation of fabrics. Also, a number of techniques are used for producing fabrics such as weaving, knitting, and felting. The type of fabrics varies by the fibers, the fabric formation techniques, machinery used for producing them, and finishing techniques. Fabrics also made differently based on the end-usage.
