One of the types of polyester yarn that is used for making fabrics is polyester partially oriented yarn (POY). POY is the primary form of polyester yarn produced by melting and spinning polyester chips or flakes. POY is also known as polyester pre-oriented yarn because it is only partially stretched during the spinning process. This gives POY a lower tenacity and less uniformity than fully oriented yarn (FOY), which is produced by further drawing and stabilizing of POY.
However, POY has some benefits that make it suitable for specific applications. POY is mainly used for texturizing, which is a process of adding bulk, crimp, stretch, and softness to the yarn. Textured yarns are more comfortable, breathable, and elastic than flat yarns. Textured yarns are also more suitable for dyeing and printing because they have more surface area and irregularities that can absorb the color better.
POY can be texturized by different methods, such as false twists, air jets, draw texturing, or friction texturing. The resulting textured yarns can have different characteristics, such as filament count, denier, twist level, shrinkage, elongation, and crimp. Textured yarns can be used for making various fabrics, such as knitted fabrics, woven fabrics, non-woven fabrics, carpets, upholstery, curtains, and clothing.
POY has various benefits for textile manufacturers and consumers. Here are some of them:
- It is cost-effective and energy-efficient. POY Requires less energy and water to produce than natural fibers or other synthetic fibers. It also has a high yield and low wastage, which means more fabric can be produced from less raw material.
- Flexible and adaptable. POY can be processed into various types of yarns with different properties, such as strength, elasticity, softness, luster, or bulkiness. It can also be dyed or finished differently to create various effects and colors.
- High-quality and high-performance. POY has excellent dimensional stability and resistance to abrasion, pilling, fading, and shrinkage. It also has good thermal and moisture management, which can keep the wearer comfortable in different climates and seasons.
- Eco-friendly and sustainable. POY is made from recycled or renewable sources, such as PET bottles or plant-based materials. It also has a low environmental impact, emitting less greenhouse gasses and consuming less water than other fibers. It can also be recycled or biodegraded at the end of its life cycle.
