Durak Tekstil Offers Innovative Solutions

Durak Tekstil, a leading producer of industrial sewing and embroidery threads, continues to provide innovative solutions to the global market. The company has transformed into an important solution provider for electronics-based applications such as smart textiles and wearable technologies through the conductive yarns it has developed. Durak SilverPro conductive yarns, developed and brought to market for numerous different applications ranging from smart textiles to automotive, from safety clothing to fashion and home textiles, are inspiring smart textile solutions at Durak Tekstil. Durak SilverPro 12 and Durak SilverPro 40 conductive yarns, which entered the market in 2022, can be successfully used in dozens of different smart textile applications, from the automotive industry to fashion, from home textiles to workwear and safety clothing to medical textiles. Durak Tekstil Board Member and Marketing Director Yiğit Durak stated that these yarns, which provide a certain level of electrical conductivity, make textile surfaces functional. Durak, noting that smart textiles and wearable technologies are beginning to radically change our daily lives, continued as follows: "Much information, from our health and security data to measuring the number of calories burned from the steps we take, can now be quickly obtained through smart textile solutions. Advances in software and sensor technologies are making this process possible, and more importantly, these developments are being completed with conductive yarns. Conductive yarns carry electrical signals between sensors and actuators, just as veins carry blood through our bodies, leading to the production of electronic data. In short, conductive yarns are indispensable for smart textiles."

Durak SilverPro conductive yarns are ideal for sewing and embroidery applications

"Our Durak SilverPro conductive yarns, produced from nylon 6,6 fiber, have passed the necessary quality, durability, processability and flexibility tests. With both yarn counts and bobbin widths, they offer the desired efficiency in sewing and embroidery operations, and with their conductivity, they can impart technical properties to surfaces such as fabric, leather and composites. Our Durak SilverPro conductive yarns, which have proven themselves through fastness properties such as washing and perspiration, are able to maintain their functional properties for long periods. We are pleased to be presenting to the market a highly trusted innovative product."

Smarter and safer living with smart textiles

Yiğit Durak, noting that smart textiles have entered every stage of our lives rapidly and will show significant growth over the next decade, continued as follows: "As is known, smart textiles have new functions beyond the wearing, covering/coating and decorative properties of traditional textiles. Smart textiles that sense and respond to changes in light, heat and pressure both increase living comfort and further improve safe living standards. According to market research conducted, the global smart textile market reached a value of USD 2.10 billion in 2020. The market is expected to exceed USD 23.82 billion by 2031 with annual growth of 25%. With the rapid market acceptance and increasing sales figures of electric vehicles, which bring greater digitalization, the automotive textiles market is growing rapidly. Automotive textiles, which formed a USD 29 billion market in 2021, are expected to grow at an annual rate of 3.2% until 2030. In parallel, the share of smart applications in automotive textiles is recording rapid increases. As the use of smart textile applications in daily life and industrial fields grows day by day, the need for conductive yarns has never been more important for their implementation. As Durak Tekstil, we have presented the global industry with a new solution open to development. We will continue to innovate based on feedback from our customers' applications and the market regarding conductive yarns. When you wear a jacket that measures your body temperature and heart rate, you will experience the confidence and comfort of knowing that this data is being provided to you through Durak Tekstil yarns. Besides other data transmissions, Durak Tekstil's conductive yarns offer new opportunities for integrated solutions with sound transmission and LED technology.''
