The fiber characteristics
One secret of dralon®’s success is the dry-spun manufacturing process, which is practically unique within the fiber industry.
The process generates unique fibrer volume, more film strength, top tensile strength and light resistance. This typical dralon® technology guarantees our customers defined high fibre quality in the long term.

The dralon® licensing
dralon® is a globally protected brand – safeguarding this quality and brand protection is part and parcel of the awarding of licensing contracts. Only products that contain dralon® are entitled to bear the seal of approval “dralon® inside”. The dralon® Quality Management team carries out random sampling of the materials available on the market and reserves the right to take legal steps.

The fiber definition
The brand dralon® stands for a special class of fiber which is defined by the BISFA (the International Bureau for the Standardization of Man-Made-Fibres) and ISO 2076. The special and unique spinning method marks dralon® out from other acrylic fibers.

The fiber identification
Since there are products on the market which are labelled with dralon® although they don’t contain any dralon®, together with independent testing institutes, dralon® has developed a simple identification procedure to ensure the observation of the dralon® quality standards.

The dralon® guarantee
The dralon® Quality Management team guarantees that all dralon® fibers delivered to spinning customers comply with the dralon® fiber definition and that the end product can thus be labelled as dralon®. The fibers correspond to the standard ISO 2076. Materials which have been tested according to the dralon® certification process can also be labelled with the “dralon® inside” seal of quality.
