Raw Materials


Material for Fiber Production – PET Bottles

• PET bottles (collectingsystems)

• Inhouse bottle-recyclingprocess.

(Quality control of the flakes)

• Supplied flakes. (Qualitydepending on suppliers)


PET Flake Requirements for Spinning

• Flake specification:

• Intrinsic viscosity IV > 0,72• Content of humidity

• Meltable contamination

• Non-meltable contamination• Mechanical properties


Contamination in R-PET

Different polymers

• Polyvinylchloride PVC

• Silicone und rubber

• Polyolefins

• Polyamide

• coloured PET

Other contamination

• Cellulose fibers

• Glue

• Ink

• Metal

• Rest of liquids

• Dust

•Textile yarns for clothing- cotton-type yarns- wool-type yarns- sewing yarns

Fiberfill applications- pillows- blankets- mattresses- soft toys

Nonwovens- filters- geo-textiles- automobile

Final Applications


Bico-Yarn with Low Cost Core

for example:

BCF yarn with a high performance sheath and a low cost core:

- 10% higher investment

+ 35% reduced raw material costs

+ 60% reduced raw material costs for R-PET core

+ Fancy look for cut pile

… take a mono-polymer yarn and replaceas much „core“ as possible with thecheapest possible polymer = R-PET…


SYTEC ONE: Single-End BCF Technology

Single-end means one yarn end BCF per position:

-one spinneret

-one spinning pump

-one quench cabinet

-one texturing system

and one winder

�Perfect yarn path

�Higher efficiency

�Higher flexibility
