Recycled / Converter Tow
Geri Dönüştürülmüş Polyester TOW
We produce recycled continuous polyester tow for conversion into tops or cut staple fiber. We specify total tow density in ktex, individual filament fineness, color and mechanical profile for your converter and final product.
What You Are Buying
One tow. Two processing routes.
Polyester tow is a large bundle of continuous filaments. The overall size of that bundle is specified as total linear density in ktex; the fineness of each individual filament is specified separately in dpf. Two tows with the same filament fineness can therefore have very different total ktex and behave differently on a converter.
Tow can be stretch-broken or cut into aligned long-staple sliver for tops, or cut to a selected length for staple-fiber production. We specify crimp, finish, tenacity, elongation and package format for your converter and target fiber.
Three Buying Decisions
Specify ktex, conversion route and color together.
We define the tow by its complete bundle specification and the fiber you intend to produce from it.
Think in ktex
120, 240 or 280 ktex can represent different converter requirements. The target ktex is selected with machine feed width, output and packaging in mind.
1 ktex = 1 g/m of tow; 280 ktex is assessed on request.Tops or cut staple
Stretch-break or cut filaments into aligned long-staple sliver for tops, or use a suitable cutting line to produce staple fiber at the chosen cut length.
Specify the actual converter and target fiber length.Match your shade
Beyond raw white and black, customer-specific colors can be developed to an approved reference for different yarn, textile and nonwoven programs.
Shade feasibility, MOQ and lead time confirmed by grade.What You Can Make
One input, two distinct fiber routes.
Your conversion method determines the prepared fiber and the downstream applications.
Route A / Polyester Tops
Stretch breaking or suitable cutting conversion creates aligned long-staple sliver for gilling, blending and worsted or semi-worsted spinning.
Route B / Staple Fiber
A suitable cutting line converts the continuous filaments to a selected staple length for spinning, nonwovens or other qualified applications.
Custom-Colored Yarns
Customer-matched colored tow can be converted into tops for blended, decorative, knitted or woven yarn programs.
Technical Fiber Programs
Fineness, mechanical behavior, shade and cut target can be tailored for downstream textile and nonwoven production trials.
Application confirmation: we qualify the selected tow on your converter and check the resulting fiber and final material against the agreed process targets.
Color & Control
Color development starts with your reference.
We develop solid colors, including black and customer-matched shades, against an approved reference. We specify shade consistency together with filament fineness, ktex, recycled feedstock and the intended converter.
Tow presentation, crimp and finish affect feeding and handling. Tenacity and elongation affect how the material behaves during cutting or stretch breaking. For a new color or process, we agree a representative sample, trial criteria and lot documentation before repeat supply.
Technical Starting Points
The parameters a tow buyer should send.
We use the parameters below to define your tow grade; our quotation and technical data sheet establish the final combination.
120–240 ktex are reference grades; we assess 280 ktex and other requested sizes by production feasibility. Filament fineness, colors, tolerances, test methods and recycled-content documentation are confirmed for the quoted tow grade.
Quality & Traceability
Approve the grade before repeat supply.
We define testing and documentation for your converter, the agreed grade and each shipment.
Specify the tow
Set dpf, ktex, crimp, color, finish, tenacity and elongation targets.
Run your converter
Check feeding, cutting or stretch-breaking behavior and the resulting sliver.
Track the lot
Agree lot identification, reported values, packing and inspection frequency.
Confirm evidence
We confirm OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certificate scope for the grade. Where GRS is claimed, we verify certification and shipment documentation.
Start with Your Converter
Tell us the ktex and the fiber you need to make.
Send your required total ktex, filament dpf, conversion method, target cut length or top specification, color reference, monthly volume and destination. We will define and quote a tow grade matched to your converter and trial requirements.
