Wire types
- TW-0 Bare wire without protective coating, silver-coloured, for conductive fabrics, ESD applications
- TW-B Wire ideal for contacting
- TW-C Wire for fashion with a wide range of colour variations
- TW-D Wire with high mechanical and chemical resistance
- TW-F Wire with very high mechanical and chemical resistance
- TW-H Wire with very high mechanical and chemical resistance
Processing
- Our metal monofilaments can be used with all types of fibre.
- It is important in the twisting-, weaving-, embroidering- and finishing process that neither the silver layer nor the enamel layer on the wire becomes damaged. Therefore the product should be checked after each working process.
Finishing
- All piece goods with a metal part have to be finished with care (see also point processing).
Washing
- Washing at 40°C with overdrive (ISO 6330, procedure 7A) is possible, if the construction of the piece goods takes into consideration the properties of metal yarns and the metal monofilaments did not become damaged. Therefore the qualities should be tested and repeated periodically by the manufacturer with washing tests.
Guarantee
- Elektrisola Feindraht AG guarantees the sample-conforming supply of the metal monofilaments. We have no influence on the properties of the final products.
