ISO 8516:1987 PDF

This International Standard provides a basis of specification applicable to textured yarns made from textile glass. Textured glass yarn is a textile glass continuous filament yarn (Single or folded) in which the filaments have been deliberately and permanently separated to increase the bulk of the yarn (sec ISO 6355).

Textured glass yarns can be produced by several types of process. They can be made either starting from a Single Strand or from two or more Strands in which one or all have been “opened” to give the “bulky” aspect of textured yarn.

Textured glass yarn is used in various applications, for example insulation, filtration, decorative textiles, reinforcement of plastics, fabrication of packings.
