Industrial Yarns
TP yarns are used in a multitude of applications. Our fibers range from industrial grade to high performance, and each of them offers unique characteristics and benefits. Meanwhile, applications range from the commonplace – like multipurpose lifting slings – to critical, high-performance textiles. It’s important you choose the correct fiber for your application, in order to guarantee your product’s success. Here at TP we take pride in providing the technical expertise needed to help our clients choose the best product for their application.
