Abstract
Abstract Multifilament polyester feed yarn for false-twist texturing by combined draw-texturing processes wherein heat-setting temperatures are above 200*C. Filament breakage or fusion is substantially eliminated, and excellent crimp development is obtained, when the feed yarn has a break elongation of 70 to 180 percent, has a low interfilament boundary coefficient of friction, and the polyester is ethylene terephthalate polymer which is less than 30 percent crystalline.
