Polyester Yarn is the main products in the polyester category. Almost 40 of the

!orld production of polyester is directly used to ma"e Polyester Yarn. Polyester

yarn is made #y direct spinning of PTA $ MEG. %t also made #y spinning PET &hips

!hich is also a #i product made from PTA $ MEG. 'ome of the !orlds largest PTA

products are ritish Petroleum* +eliance* 'inopec* '",&hemicals* Mitsui and

Eastman &hemicals. MEG production is in the hand of a#out -0 glo#al players

!hich are headed #y MEGlo#al a / of 12 and P%& 3u!ait follo!ed #y 'a#ic. The

main use of Polyester has #een in the Tetiles 5eld for ma"ing Polyester Yarns.Polyester in di6erent forms is used !idely in tetile application to ma"e polyester

(PET) resin and 7ilament Yarn such as Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), Polyester

Drawn Textured Yarn (DTY), Polyester Fully Drawn Yarn (FDY), Polyester

Staple Fier (PSF), Polyester Spun Yarn (PSY), Te!"ni!al Yarn, Tire !ord

and #ono $la%ents Yarn&  Polyester yarn is also used in ma"ing pac"ing

application li"e polyester 5lm* insulation tapes* strapping and se8eral other daily

use items. Polyester 5lament yarns is used in "nitting $ !ea8ing to ma"e polyester

fa#rics such as consumer fa#rics and home furnishing li"e curtains* #ed sheets*

#ed spreads and draperies. 'imilarly Polyester high tenacity industrial yarns can #e

used to ma"e ropes* con8eyor #elts* safety #elts $ tire fa#ric. Polyester 'taple

7i#er is mainly used as 5#er 5lls to stu6 pillo!s* cushion* sofa $ #eddings.

POLYESTER ' PARTALLY ORENTED YARN (POY)

Polyester Partially 1riented Yarn* commonly "no!n as Polyester P1Y is the primary

form of Polyester yarn. %t is also "no!n as Polyester Pre'Oriented Yarn. %t is the

5rst form of yarn made directly from PTA $ MEG or #y spinning Polyester PET

&hips. P1Y is mainly used in teturi9ing to ma"e tetured yarn* also "no!n as

Polyester ra!n Tetured Yarn (TY). P1Y can also #e used in dra! !arping for

!ea8ing and !arp "nitting of fa#rics.

P1Y yarn is a8aila#le in di6erent luster li"e Se%i'Dull POY  and ri*"t POY . The

right P1Y has the shine in it due to the cross,sections in the 5laments. The fa#ric

made from right P1Y also has the #right luster. Polyester P1Y yarn is mainly

a8aila#le in +a! 2hite color $ is also a8aila#le in 8arious di6erent colors. P1Y is

usually colored #y the ope yed technology as it is more e>cient $ the yarn gets
