Understanding the Difference Between 20°C and 40°C Water-Sol

Meta Description: Confused about water-soluble yarns? Learn the key differences between 20-degree and 40-degree dissolvable yarns and how to choose the right one for your textile manufacturing process.
 

(Introduction)
In the innovative world of textile manufacturing, water-soluble yarns have emerged as a game-changing solution for creating complex structures without permanent scaffolding. These unique yarns provide temporary support during knitting or weaving and are simply washed away with water, leaving behind intricate designs that would be impossible to achieve by hand. But not all dissolvable yarns are created equal. The most critical distinction lies in their dissolution temperature. In this guide, we’ll break down the differences between 20-degree and 40-degree water-soluble yarns and their primary uses.

What are Water-Soluble Yarns?
Water-soluble yarns are typically made from Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA). They are strong, flexible, and designed to hold their structure during the production process. Once the fabric or product is completed, immersing it in water dissolves the yarn completely, leaving no residue and revealing the final product.

The Key Difference: Dissolution Temperature

The "20-degree" and "40-degree" refer to the approximate water temperature (in Celsius) required to dissolve the yarn effectively. This is not just a minor detail—it’s the fundamental property that dictates the yarn's application.
