Knit Fabric Making From Acrylic Yarn and Monofilament of Recycled Polycarbonate

Abstract

Raw materials use polycarbonate and acrylic yarn. Polycarbonate an engineering plastic made from a condensation reaction of bisphenol A with phosphagen in alkaline media. (Mujiarto, 2005). Acrylic yarn that is carried out by a knitting process with a type of plain bondage has a stable dimension (Hurley, 1966). Polycarbonate is carried out by the melting spinning process. After that, acrylic yarn is carried out by knitting and inserted into polycarbonate monofilament. Fabrics from these raw materials are tested for moisture content & regained, thermal conductivity, infrared cameras, and broken resistance. Testing the moisture content and moisture regaining the monofilament insertion proves this second thing, ie the level is reduced.
