Yarn, cords, and tapes

Yarn can be used for different purposes, such as tapes and cords, according to the situation by employing various types of yarn in terms of drawing, the number of yarns, color, and thickness.

Yarn: Single yarn and multiple twisted yarn

A single yarn refers to a strand twisted in a single direction. A multiple twisted yarn is produced by twisting several single yarns together. The shape of yarns is made circular by twisting them together, and multiple twisted yarns are easier to handle than single yarns.

Colored yarn

Colored yarns refer to single or multiple twisted yarns coated with pigment.
The six standard colors are red, blue, black, green, yellow, and brown.

Major uses: Electric cable covering for identification
Example of product: ECG 150 1/2 3.8S LBE (blue)

Cord

Cords are produced by twisting many multiple twisted yarns together so that the apparent diameter ranges from 0.8 mm to 6.4 mm. In addition to this, the SR Series, which is produced by twisting rovings together, is also available.
Varnished cords are used for the electric insulation of such machines as electric motors and power transformers, the core of heater wires of hair dryers, electric blankets, and rice cookers, and so forth.
