Taslanizing or taslanising is a process for making textured , involving air-texturing or heat-treatment. (1996). 9780870057076, Fairchild Publications. ISBN 9780870057076 Taslan is an expired registered trademark of DuPont for this process, first registered on October 19, 1954. In German the word is Luftex. The process is simply feeding a bundle of continuous filament yarns into a small jet nozzle with various amounts of slack (overfeed). High-pressure air ( > 100 PSI ) creates suction and a turbulent airstream which tangles any slack into a yarn with a similar hand as a spun yarn. It is the turbulent airflow that tangles the fibers. This method of yarn production creates a yarn that is normally more even than spun yarn and does not pill like spun yarn.
The yarn used is typically polyester, nylon, or a blend. Besides the expected properties of these synthetic fibers, it is also breathable and lightweight.
Taslan is also a name for yarn made using this process. Taslan is used in: outdoor Clothing and sportswear, footwear, upholstery and home textiles, and luggage or travel bags.
Invista has a branded version known as "Supplex®".
