Spin draw yarn (SDY):
- a yarn which has undergone a spin drawing process.
|
-
Spin drawing:
- a process for spinning partially or highly oriented filaments in which the spinning and drawing processes are integrated sequential stages. Most of the orientation in spin drawing is introduced between the first forwarding device and the take-up.

Spinlaying:
- part of a production route for making nonwovens in which synthetic filaments are extruded and gathered on to an endless belt.
|
-
Spinneret:
- a nozzle or plate provided with fine holes or slits through which a fibre-forming solution or melt is extruded during fibre manufacture.

Spinning:
- the process used in the production of yarns or filaments. In the manufacture of staple fibre yarns, the process entails the drafting and, where appropriate, insertion of twist in natural or man-made staple fibres to form a yarn. In the manufacture of man-made filaments, fibre-forming substances in the plastic or molten state, or in solution, are forced through the holes of a spinneret or die at a controlled rate in a process called extrusion. See also spinning solution, Dref spinning, dry spinning, melt spinning, reaction spinning, spinning solution, and wet spinning. Filaments can also be spun from glass, metals, or ceramics.

Spunbond:
- nonwovens made from a continuous mat of randomly laid filaments. The filaments are bonded together by heat and pressure or needlepunching.
