Pos. 5402

Zu Unterpositionen 5402 31 bis 5402 39: Als texturierte Garne gelten Garne, die durch mechanische oder physikalische Verfahren (z. B. Torsionskräuselverfahren, Echt- oder Falschdrallverfahren, Kantenziehverfahren, Thermofixierung oder Kombination mehrerer dieser Verfahren) verändert wurden, so dass jede Einzelfaser gekräuselt, gefältelt, in Schlingen gelegt oder ähnlich verformt ist. Im gedehnten Zustand können die Fasern erneut ganz oder teilweise geradlinig sein, sie nehmen jedoch beim Nachlassen der Spannung ihre vorherige Form wieder an. Texturierte Garne kennzeichnen sich durch eine große Bauschigkeit oder eine sehr große Dehnbarkeit. Die hohe Elastizität in beiden Fällen macht sie zum Herstellen dehnbarer Waren (z. B. Strumpfhosen, Strümpfe, Unterkleidung) besonders geeignet, die Bauschigkeit der Garne verleiht den Erzeugnissen Weichheit und Wärme im Griff. …
