Hollow Yarn is a Continuous multifilament yarn and weighs 20% less than traditional yarn. The yarn is available with air interlaced or twisted – from 300 deniers to 3000 deniers with a round hollow section.
Hollow Filament Yarns manufactured by us are made lighter than our traditional fully drawn multifilament yarn. To be specific, they weigh 20% LESS and come in interlaced or twisted patterns in roll packaging. The material that we use, polypropylene, gives the yarn features such as high strength, anti-aging, alkali resistance, acid resistance, wear resistance, low thermal conductivity, and moisture resistance.
Because of these applications, the hollow filament yarn is widely used for the manufacture of mattresses, decorative belts, trimming, bag handles, and cords for paper bags. They are also chemical resistant, making their capability of being used in the textile industry even more evident. We also make sure that we bring the best quality, and hence strict control procedures and quality checking is implemented during the manufacturing process of the hollow filament.

Hollow Filament Yarn is a polypropylene multifilament yarn featuring a hollow core structure that reduces weight while maintaining strength and durability. Compared to conventional yarns, it offers a higher surface coverage-to-weight ratio, making it ideal for lightweight textile and industrial applications.
Hollow Filament Yarn is approximately 20% lighter than traditional yarn while retaining excellent strength. It also offers moisture resistance, chemical resistance, abrasion resistance, low thermal conductivity, and enhanced coverage, helping manufacturers reduce material weight without compromising performance.
Hollow Filament Yarn is widely used in mattress fabrics, decorative belts, trimming, bag handles, paper bag cords, narrow fabrics, textile accessories, and lightweight technical textile products where reduced weight and durability are important requirements.
The hollow core traps air within the filament, reducing yarn density and weight while maintaining adequate strength. This structure can also contribute to better insulation properties and improved bulk compared to solid filament yarns of similar specifications.
Yes. Polypropylene Hollow Filament Yarn offers excellent resistance to moisture, acids, alkalis, and many chemicals. These properties make it suitable for textile and industrial applications that require durability in challenging environments.
