Radyarn UV Stabilised is among the top specialties of the product range offered by RadiciGroup PET yarn – a leading European producer of continuous polyester yarn.

The product is a high-performance yarn with intrinsic anti-UV-ray properties that are said to make it ideal for fabrics used for awnings, outdoor furnishings and marine applications.

Quality and performance

The PET yarn Business Unit that developed the new product is able to tailor its products to meet its customers’ needs in an efficient way. “Vertically integrated production is the key to the flexibility needed to customise our polyester yarn to the exact customer specifications, not only in terms of colour, but also, above all, in terms of formulation and functionality,” said Daniele Dossi, Site Quality Manager of Noyfil SA.

“And this means meeting specific aesthetic and performance requirements simultaneously, because look and performance are two equally important factors to our customers. Our yarn’s performance reliability in fabrics is ensured by lab tests on fabric samples, which we perform using specialised instruments.”

“Still another significant aspect is the broad range of UV Stabilised yarn we offer: not only standard polyester, but also PET flame retardant and recycled polyester. We can thus deliver multifunctional products, a feature that is appreciated by our target market.”

Flexibility and colour range

“Our customers have a wide choice of colours, lustres and counts, even for small production lots,” said Roberto Milan, Laboratory and Colour Department Manager of Noyfil SA. “We offer maximum flexibility in colour tailoring. Requests for particular colours and shades come mostly from customers in the outdoor furnishings sector.”

“Our distinctive competence lies in our ability to develop each product to the exact specifications of our customers, who can thus make innovative fabrics as to hand, performance and look. In the specific case of UV Stabilised yarn, a fundamental characteristic is colourfastness. Our yarns are guaranteed to deliver long lasting performance in both mechanical properties and colourfastness.”
