Khantex Group has become a member of the Com4® family.

Khantex Group has got Com4® yarn licenses (Com4®ring, Com4®compact, Com4®rotor) from Rieter Company. Com4® yarns are the yarns spun on Rieter end spinning machines. They fulfil the most exacting requirements and ensure competitiveness in a dynamic market.

The benefits of the Com4® yarns are visible in spinning, in downstream processing and in the final product, e.g. from high processing speeds, less fiber fly and low size pick-up through to excellent pilling values and high wearing comfort.

The spinning technology is decisive for the yarn characteristic. The three different spinning technologies ring, compact, and rotor spinning create three different yarn types: Com4®ring, Com4®compact, Com4®rotor.

Com4®ring is characterized by high flexibility in the use of the raw material, the yarn count and the yarn character. It possesses a high degree of strength and high yarn hairiness. Com4®compact is distinguished by extremely high tenacity, even yarn structure, low hairiness and high yarn density. Com4®rotor has a high optical evenness which leads to a very even fabric appearance due to its special yarn structure. With a high short fiber proportion in the raw material, the evenness is even better when compared to other Com4®yarns.

Particularly in the main application area of Com4®rotor – coarser yarn counts of cotton – the yarn shows a low strength variation. The yarn hairiness is to a great degree designable. That means, according to the requirement of the textile end product, high or low yarn hairiness can be produced.

Fabrics from Com4®ring yarns show predominantly good properties. Especially the opacity in knits due to the high yarn hairiness can be named as a benefit. But also the extremely soft touch of the fabric should be mentioned. Basically, a ring yarn enjoys the greatest acceptance by users – by the fact of its long history.

Com4®compact has the highest fabric strength. The absolutely clear defined structures with printed products, Jacquard and shaft patterns are immediately obvious to the user. The reason for this is the compact yarn structure. Fewer hairs also mean less light refraction on the fabric surface – Com4®compact products usually show an outstanding luster.
