Draw-texturing

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

In the manufacture of thermoplastic fibers, the simultaneous process of drawing to increase molecular orientation and imparting crimp to increase bulk.

Dial

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

In a circular-knitting machine, a circular steel plate with radially arranged slots for needles. A knitting machine equipped with both a dial and a cylinder can produce double-knit fabrics.

Jet dyeing

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

High temperature piece dyeing in which the dye liquor is circulated via a Venturi jet thus providing the driving force to move the loop of fabric.

Dye sites

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

Functional groups within a fibre that provide sites for chemical bonding with the dye molecule. Dye sites may be either in the polymer chain or in chemical additives included in the fiber.

Dielectric breakdown voltage

Textiles; Manufactured fibers

In an electrical insulating material, the voltage at which electrical breakdown occurs, i.e., the voltage at which current will flow and/or the material melts.
