Why a silicone yarn?
Silicone derives from silicon, a natural element that can be found in great quantities on Earth. Its molecular structure is formed by an alternating of silicon and oxigen atoms. This silicone yarn offers incredible elasticity, resistance and stability.
TS 
Performance
- Temperature resistance
- Non skin burning
- Non-harmful gas emission
- Comfort and security
Description
TS stands for “thermal stability” and refers to the yarns capacity to maintain its mechanical properties in various temperatures, from below zero to hundreds of degrees above zero. This guarantees elasticity in any textile where the yarn is used. While, even if only for a short period of time, it can resist temperatures up to +400°C.
