PVD Copper Coated Yarn for Antibacterial Socks

PVD Copper Coated Yarn for Functional Sock Production

Antibacterial sock yarn must do more than support a product claim. It needs to run smoothly, keep a consistent fabric appearance, and remain comfortable enough for daily wear. This PVD copper coated yarn combines a flexible polyester filament core with a metallic copper coating, making it suitable for sock designs that need both technical value and a soft textile feel.

• Flexible filament base: Helps the yarn bend during knitting and weaving.
• Metallic copper coating: Adds a functional copper surface for antibacterial sock programs.
• 70D / 100D count range: Supports light to medium sock fabric structures.
• Zero twist / low twist form: Helps reduce harsh hand feel in finished socks.
• 1-ply yarn structure: Keeps testing, sourcing, and production planning simple.

Why Choose PVD Copper Coated Yarn for Antibacterial Socks

Sock buyers often request functional materials, but factories still need yarns that behave predictably on machines. This copper coated yarn gives mills a balanced option: the polyester filament provides flexibility and processing stability, while the copper coating creates a visible functional surface for hygiene, sports, daily wear, and technical sock categories.

Choose 70D when the sock design needs a lighter hand feel or finer yarn effect. Choose 100D when the fabric needs more body, stronger visual presence, or a heavier functional yarn placement. However, final performance depends on the full yarn mix, machine gauge, stitch density, washing process, and finishing route. We recommend testing the yarn on your own machine before confirming bulk orders.

Technical Advantages for Knitting and Weaving

The continuous filament structure supports a smoother fabric surface than many short fiber yarn options. In addition, the low-twist or zero-twist form helps the yarn stay flexible, which matters in socks because the fabric bends, stretches, and touches the skin during wear.

• For knitting: The flexible filament form helps the yarn pass through needles with lower resistance.
• For weaving: The continuous filament structure supports neat yarn placement and a cleaner surface.
• For sock development: 70D and 100D give mills two practical options for different fabric weights.
• For functional design: The copper coating gives buyers a clear functional material point for antibacterial sock development.

Product Specifications

PVD Copper Coated Yarn Applications

This yarn is mainly used in antibacterial sock production. It suits knitted socks, woven sock materials, sports sock programs, daily hygiene sock ranges, and functional textile sampling. It gives product development teams a copper-coated component without forcing the mill to use stiff metal yarn.

Because the yarn keeps a flexible filament base, it helps protect comfort, fabric softness, and production control. For new programs, early sample testing is important. Confirm yarn count, machine compatibility, hand feel, appearance, and washing route before bulk production. For current availability and lead time, send your target count and application today.

FAQ

What is PVD copper coated yarn?

PVD copper coated yarn is a filament yarn with a metallic copper coating on the yarn surface. This product uses 95% polyester filament as the base and 5% metallic copper coating as the functional layer.

Is this yarn suitable for antibacterial socks?

Yes. This yarn is designed for knitted and woven antibacterial sock applications. The copper-coated surface supports functional sock programs that need a clear antibacterial material positioning.

What yarn counts are available?

The available yarn counts are 70D and 100D. 70D suits lighter sock structures, while 100D works better when the design needs more yarn body or stronger metallic visual effect.

Can this yarn run on sock knitting machines?

Yes. The flexible continuous filament form helps the yarn pass through knitting systems more smoothly than stiff metallic yarn structures. Still, each factory should test it with its own gauge, needle condition, and stitch density.

Can it be used for woven sock materials?

Yes. It can be used in woven applications where a flexible copper coated filament yarn is required. The final result depends on fabric structure, yarn placement, and machine settings.

What is the fiber composition?

The composition is 95% polyester filament and 5% metallic copper coating. Polyester provides the base yarn structure, while copper provides the metallic functional surface.

Is the yarn twisted?

The yarn is zero twist or low twist. This structure helps maintain flexibility and reduce a harsh hand feel in sock fabric development.

What should buyers test before bulk orders?

Buyers should test yarn count, machine compatibility, fabric hand feel, surface appearance, washing route, and final sock performance. The full result depends on the complete yarn mix and production process.

What is the MOQ?

The minimum order quantity is 5,000 kg.

How is the yarn packed?

The yarn uses carton packing.
