Metalized yarn and method for making same

A textile product made of metalized yarns classified under HTSUS 5605.00.9000 and being the chief weight comprising:

• at least one man-made fiber material and at least one metal powder;
• wherein:
• the metal powder is introduced by being encased in a master batch;
• the man-made fiber material is transformed into a slurry to which the metal powder encased in the master batch is then introduced;
• the slurry is subsequently forced and elongated so as to form the metalized yarn without metal fibers;
• the metal powder is distributed throughout and embedded within the man-made fiber material but not present on the surface of the metalized yarn so that the textile product has appearance and color indistinguishable from similar textile product, and is classified under a favourable import duty classification under HTSUS.
