Product overview

What is ST Type Metallic Yarn?

In ST Type, metallic flat yarn covers a textile-filament core. Polyester, rayon or viscose, and nylon are common core options; the core and film are selected for the required construction and end use.

Commercial ST constructions cover a wide range of core deniers and covering levels. Final choices are subject to technical review rather than a universal denier.
