2. ¡ The
DREF
spinning
process
manufactures
yarns
composed
of
a
core
covered
completely
by
staple
fibers.
¡ Allows
creation
of
hybrid
yarns-‐
combining
the
best
properties
of
core
yarn
and
sheath
fibers.
¡ DREF
yarns
provide
the
best
durability
as
compared
to
other
core
spinning
processes
¡ NOR*FAB
Corporation
operates
the
largest
collection
of
DREF
III
yarn
spinning
equipment
in
the
world.
¡ Yarn
sizes
ranging
from
41
to
1000

8. ¡ DREF
yarns
provide
superior
abrasion
resistance,
durability
and
strength.
¡ Enables
the
development
of
individually
engineered
yarns
to
meet
customer
needs.
¡ Superior
cut
resistance
as
compared
to
ring
spun
yarns
§ Allows
for
hardened
cores
such
as
fiberglass
and
wire
to
further
enhance
cut
resistance
¡ Excellent
thermal
insulation
¡ Outstanding
value
versus
lower
performing
yarns

Ø The
example
above
compares
Para-‐Aramid
woven
fabrics
of
similar
weights
except
that
Style
10TT366
is
woven
with
DREF-‐Spun
yarns
that
have
a
core
of
stainless
steel.
The
result
is
an
improvement
in
Cut
Resistance
of
450%.
