Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9516065A1] This invention is directed to a method and apparatus for heat-treating multifilament yarn, wherein the yarn is fed into a chamber having imperforate and perforate sections, and to the resultant yarn products. Hot fluid is forced through a wad of the yarn in the imperforate section of the chamber and vented through the perforate section. The device may be used to bulk and heat-set yarns, depending upon the operating conditions. Yarn products prepared from this process are especially suitable for making carpets having good texture retention and carpet bulk.
