GARN UND VERFAHREN ZUR HERSTELLUNG EINES GARNES MIT SUPERABSORBIERENDEN FASERN

摘要

A method for manufacturing a yarn containing superabsorbent fibers of polyacrylate, wherein said superabsorbent fibers are blended with supporting fibers of a material stronger than that of the superabsorbent fibers so as to form a sliver from a blend of said fibers. The sliver is spun into a yarn by using an open end spinning method, wherein the fibers of the sliver are individualized. Subsequently the fibers are fed in an air flow to a rotating spinning space, from where the yarn is spun.
