3. One of your main products is BCF carpet yarn, let us know more about BCF carpet yarn and its unique specifications.
There are mainly two types of yarn qualities used in the carpet industry produce by our factory: Monocolor and Tricolor yarn
Difference between Tricolor and Monocolor is that monocolor consist of one colour and tricolor can consist 3 different colour.
The yarn, which is produced by dividing the number of filaments of the yarn into 3 equal parts and producing the divided filaments in 3 different colors, is called tricolour yarn. This tricolour yarn, consisting of 3 colors, that creates a melange effect on the carpet.
We offer PP BCF yarns in Monocolor and Tricolor in wide range of Decitex (1000-4000) & Filaments (144-360).
BCF yarn stands for Bulk Continuous Filament which is one long continuous strand of filament produced through specialized extrusion process used for manufacturing carpets & rugs.
The BCF yarn made with polymer Polypropylene (PP) is called PP BCF Yarn.
PP fibers are similar to natural Wool and soft almost same as Nylon and has an economical advantage over Wool and Nylon.
Production
BCF: A little twist should be given so that the filaments, which have gained the necessary volume and softness by texturing, can come to a full yarn form under normal conditions. In the BCF yarn production technique, these are yarns that are made by interlocking instead of twisting to be given, and by entangling a filament bundle at certain points, and in this way, a bulk yarn structure is obtained.
FRIEZE: frieze carpets have high twists. This is a positive for durability because it means the carpet is less likely to fray overtime. Frieze carpets are also perfect for high traffic areas. Their twisted fibers flop in a lackluster manner, which easily conceals dirt, stains and footprints.
HEAT SET: It is a yarn that is permanently shaped by applying heat with or without steam in order to fix the twist in fixed, high twist, multiply yarns, to add strength, to prevent static electricity and to ensure that the yarn can work comfortably.
PP BCF YARN USES
Carpets, Rugs, Mats, Runners and stair carpet, Prayer carpets, Automotive mats, Upholstery fibers for underlays, Non-woven flooring, Carpet tiles …
PP is a very light material as compared to other natural and polymers grade synthetic fibres. It has a specific gravity of 0.90 compared to other fibres such as Viscose (Rayon) – 1.50, Polyester- 1.38, Cotton-1.54, Nylon-1.14, Wool-1.31, Acrylic- 1.17 and for Silk -1.33.
The specific gravity of PP is less than that water ( 1.00) and its wide availability and cost economics makes it suitable for carpet & rug industry.

4. How do you evaluate machine made carpet industry globally especially after coronavirus pandemic?
of course, Because of the coronavirus pandemic everything have changed as market was almost on pause. After coronavirus pandemic, textile sectors started to care more about sustainability in our production.
The pandemic situations have globally affected in our sector. Demand for carpet have decreased and it has really affected in our industry. We have positive predictions for the future of the carpet Industry.
In time everything will be the same as before the pandemic because carpets are part of our lives and culture as it has big effect on feeling comfortable in your place.
Raw materials cost increasing directly will affect on our final product as its made 100% from polymers. we have really good advantages on raw as it’s produced in Turkmenistan, so our price is always affordable than other country manufacturers.
6. As a carpet yarn producer in Turkmenistan, how do you evaluate carpet industry in Middle East and Africa and its potentials for Future. Do you have export to this region?
Carpet industry in Middle East and Africa have really good potential for future, as there is serious demand in carpet in those regions. As our company is an international company we have good relationships with both regions in export and import.
7. COVID 19 shows us we should rely more on sustainability and green products, how we can improve sustainability in the carpet sector? do you have any special plan for this?
After COVID-19 globally we have start to care more about green products and sustainability in our workings process as it is important for our future generations. We have start incorporate sustainability production into our policy. Sustainable manufacturing is the creation of goods and services using processes and systems that:
– Ecologicaly clean
– Saving energy and natural resources
– Cost-effective
– Safe and healthy for workers, communities and consumers
– Socially and creatively useful for all workers
If production is sustainable, then the environment, employees, communities and organizations benefit from it. These conditions can always in the long term, and often in the short term, lead to the creation of more economically viable and productive enterprises.
The conceptual spark of sustainable production lies in the evaluation of long-term consequences and benefits, not short-term profits. Organizations can thrive by investing in well-designed and secure products, resource-efficient technologies and processes, and trained and empowered people.
With today’s public concern about global climate change and efforts to green cities, the benefits of sustainable production are becoming even more evident.
Turkmenistan is young country which developing very quickly in all industry. Thanks for our government that have really big impact on developing all industries and we believe with at this pace, Turkmenistan will be an important economic country in Central Asia. There almost 100 factories that active in Turkmenistan. Synthetic yarn production is a new field but cotton yarn spinning and 100% cotton products are so powerful in Turkmenistan.
machine made carpet manufacturers also is a new field in Turkmenistan textile industry and there there are 5 manufacturers. This industry has really bright future as our country also produces raw for Machine Made carpets and economically its good business.
