Types and Applications of Polyester POY Yarn

Polyester (POY) Yarn is a common and versatile yarn that finds extensive application in a variety of apparel fabrics. Its characteristics include excellent elasticity, shape retention, wrinkle resistance, wash & wear performance, and durability. The increasing use of POY in the textile industry is expected to propel market revenue growth over the forecast period.

Types of Polyester POY:

The global polyester partially oriented yarn market is categorized based on the type of raw material and luster. The market is segmented into Polyethylene Terephthalate, Poly-1, 4-Cyclohexylene Dimethylene Terephthalate (PCDT), and others. The PCDT-based product is estimated to dominate the market and register a high revenue growth rate during the forecast period due to its superior properties such as durability, elasticity, and resilience.

Semi-dull POY: This polyester yarn is mainly used in making clothing and blankets. It is available in a variety of lusters such as Semi-dull, Bright, and Triloble Bright. The Semi-dull POY is characterized by its cross-sections that make it shiny and attractive to the eye.

Bright POY: This polyester yarn is mainly available in a variety of lusters and colors, including Semi-dull, Full Dull, Super Bright, and Triloble Bright. The Bright POY is characterized by its cross-sections and can be easily dyed to create colorful fabrics.

Cationic FDY: This polyester yarn is mainly available in different lusters and colors, including Semi-dull, Bright, and Triloble bright. The Cationic POY is characterized by its cross-sections which make it highly compatible with other filament yarn.

The production of POY yarns is a continuous process that ensures the high quality, consistency, and uniformity in all critical properties such as tenacity, elongation, Uster variation, and boiling water shrinkage. Controlled interlace and controlled re-orientation of molecular chains during the spinning process help to maintain the quality and uniformity of the yarn.

Various textured and twisted types of polyester POY yarns are available in the market. These textured and twisted types are able to produce a wider range of designs and patterns. The textured and twisted types of POY yarns can be crimped, twirled, and texturized to make the desired effects. The textured and twisted types of polyester POY can also be heat-set.

The global polyester POY yarns market is dominated by China and India. The presence of major manufacturers in these countries is expected to provide ample opportunities for the expansion of the market during the forecast period. Furthermore, the growing construction and automotive sectors in Asia Pacific are anticipated to drive the demand for polyester partially oriented yarns. Moreover, the increase in consumer preferences for abrasion-resistant and lightweight fabrics is also projected to boost market revenue growth during the forecast period.
