Frequently Asked Questions About CEY Yarn

What does CEY stand for in textiles?

CEY stands for Composite Elastic Yarn. It generally refers to a polyester-based composite filament yarn designed to provide mechanical stretch for textile applications.

Is CEY yarn the same as spandex yarn?

No. CEY and spandex-containing yarns have different constructions. CEY can develop mechanical elasticity through its polyester composite structure, while conventional covered spandex yarn contains a separate elastane filament.

What CEY yarn specifications are available?

NEXTILE FIBER offers CEY specifications including 180D/60F and 180D/96F. Available luster, intermingling and twisting options should be confirmed according to the required yarn construction.

What is CEY yarn used for?

CEY yarn is used in the development of stretch woven and knitted fabrics, including fashion apparel, dresses, trousers and other polyester textile applications.

What is the difference between CEY 180D/60F and 180D/96F?

Both specifications have a nominal yarn denier of 180D, but they differ in filament count. CEY 180D/60F contains 60 filaments, while CEY 180D/96F contains 96 filaments. The resulting fabric performance should be evaluated through actual weaving, knitting and finishing trials.

Can CEY yarn be supplied with different intermingling levels?
