Physical properties of polycaprolactone yarn. The glass transition temperature and melting temperature show that the polymer is in a semi-crystalline state at room temperature which explains the high elongation at break and its suitability for this application.

Polymer	Approx. Average Mw	Denier	Filaments	Elongation at Break at RT	Tg	Tm	Cross Section	Storage Condition
Poly-caprolactone	80 kDa *	160	36	>150%	−60 °C	60 °C	Circular	4 °C
