I'm just telling you a fact. 22 years in extrusion and compounding. I master plan all of our yarns and colors and purchase pigments. I told you a fact. If you can't ööööing deal with it. If you have too much damn pride to admit someone else just MAY know what the hell they are talking about, then öööö off.
 
Go ahead and shoot me, but I think our best two combos were the cape day uniforms and the all whites we wore against USF that one year with the white GT logo on the helmet. A close 3rd is the all white with the gold numbers and gold face mask we wore against UCF in the covid year.

What's extrusion and compounding?

I have to admit to disagreeing with you quiet often, and sometimes vehemently, but it you actually work in that industry, then why should anyone deny what you are saying? Thank you for the information that you provided.

Ummm… ask JJ’s mom after I head out.

But I do have a problem with JJ saying two things are the same color but look different because the light hits them differently since that is the actual definition of color. If the helmet and shirt are made of different materials (which they obviously are) then adjust the g d dye to make it where they look the same when the light hits it. Don’t use the same damn dye then make it my problem.

The hats and the shirts are the same color. Different surfaces reflect light differently.

I've always wondered why they wouldn't take this into account to get the end result to match. Wouldn't it be possible to produce the hats and shirts with slightly different colors, that to our (mostly) human eyes look the same upon reflection?

BCF yarn extrusion for commercial carpet, residential carpet, automotive fibers, and fibers that have such uses as cubical walls.

We use nylon, polyester, polypropylene resins in manufacture and dose color into the resins before spinning it into yarn. We custom manufacture masterbatch color out of purchased resins and pigments and can pretty much match any color or shade you would like, including we have manufactured yarns for carpet used in some buildings at Georgia Tech (given the pantone colors from GT, the customer). Not sure what buildings the carpet ultimately ended up in.
 
I have a feeling whenever they go GWW it’s going to look awesome, it’ll only be the metallic gold on the helmet, sleeves, and pant stripe. It will probably be my new favorite. Preparing my body now so it will be ready.

I know that word from somewhere but I cannot remember where.

Is it possible you unknowingly made the turf?

You are welcome to stop by my office and I can show you tuft samples where the yarn was extruded using the exact same color and the exact same machine using a different yarn cross section. They look like entirely different colors, despite it being the exact same color batch. We even have some "metallics" where the cross section gives a metallic sheen.

When you use the term extrusion in the “textiles/yarn/thread”context is it technically the same process as what most of us have in mind when we think of extrusion?

It is possible, but probably just isn't worth the expense. It is why many like the contrasting white helmet with the gold jersey. Don't have to worry about the match.

Yep. Just like how Chick Fil A extrudes their meat for the sandwiches, so I read on here.

There are conveyance, dosing units, extruder, quench, draw, bulk, tack, and winding. Boom. Yarn done.
