Storage and Handling of Storage and Handling of Spandex YarnSpandex Yarn
Storage Conditions For Spandex• Should never see temperature above 40°C in
shipping or storage.• Ideal storage conditions 4°C - 27°C, 50% - 80%
relative humidity.• Keep cartons sealed until ready to use.• Repack partially used spools in original cartons
with trays and reseal for storage.• Open cartons and allow to acclimatize in air
conditioned production area 24 hours prior to use.
Results of Improper Storage• Too cold storage not a problem as long as allowed
to acclimatize to room temperature before use.• Too hot storage results in rapid increase of
tackiness and sticking on spools.• Stress strain properties not changed - only
deterioration in runability.• Time / Temperature - critical factor:
– High temp / long time - very bad.
– High temp / short time - less bad
– Moderate temp / long time - less bad
Dorlastan Spool Shelf Life• Maximum time after spinning for best
performance:– 3 months for hosiery direct knit 10 den - 70 den.
– 6 months for circular knit 20 den - 70 den.
– 1 year for 140 den and up.
– Inventory management very important - Always use FIFO.
• Actual shelf life depends on storage conditions:– Cooler storage longer shelf life
– Warmer storage shorter shelf life
Handling Spandex Spools• Spandex windings easily disturbed by rough
handling.• Poor runability will result if winding are disturbed
by improper handling.• Always touch spandex as little as possible and
take care not to disturb side of package.• Handle with inside of spool and top of package -
never sides of package.
Spandex Spool Handling Demonstration
• Handling in spinning at Bayer:– Doffing from spinning machine
– Holding spools to apply label
– Packing out into cartons
• Handling at textile mill:– Unpacking from carton
– Removal of doff band to quickly find yarn end
– Creeling circular knitting machine
– Creeling spandex warper
Handling Spools In Spinning
• Touch yarn as little as possible.• Spool label applied without touching edges of
spool• Handle spool with fingers on inside of spool and
thumb on top of spool in center.

Unpacking Spools For Use
• Lift spool from carton touching yarn as little as possible.
• Remove doff band to find end quickly:– Doff bands happen when full spool speeds up to break
yarn at automatic doff. The small amount of yarn wound tightly and parallel in center of spool must be removed.
– Waste from doff bands minimal and makes finding yarn end easy.
• Upgrade spools which have windings off shoulder for better machine startup.

Upgrading
Proper hand position and a pinch of yarn yield a good spool upgrade

Other Handling Precautions
• Avoid wearing jewelry which can snag the yarn.• Keep nails trimmed and smooth.• Wear thin tricot gloves if hands are rough.• Keep hands clean from grease and dirt. • Handle cartons with care so spools do not slip in
trays or fall out of carton.
Snags
Can be caused by jewelry, nails,or improper care
Dirty Spools
Cannot be upgraded because the dirt/greaseencompasses outer spool area. Yarn is wasted.
Dropped Spools
Ends are dented
Waste - cannot upgrade to full spool
Carton Handling
Handle cartons with care. Yarn can be damaged if cartons are dropped or thrown.
Summary•Proper storage conditions prolong shelf life and improve runability.
•Take time to handle the spools with care. A little extra time taken to avoid disturbing the windings can save a huge amount of time lost for machine stops and breaks.
•Always remove doff bands to find the end more quickly and avoid yarn breaks during startup.
•If a spool is damaged or dirty, upgrade it if possible. If not possible set it aside. Do not let one bad spool cause poor performance and fabric loss of the entire creel stock.
