FIL has the capability to manufacture POY
in Deniers: 115-470, having filaments:
36/72/100/144/200/288 with Denier per filament (dpf) not
less than 0.8 USAGE AND APPLICATION OF POY/ PFY
POY / PFY is largely used in shirtings and suitings,
sarees, ladies’ dress material, and knitwear. POY/
PFY is preferred in men’s wear due to its higher
crease recovery, wrinkle resistance, better drape,
longer retention of prints and colours, and better
abrasion as compared with competing fibres, such as PSF,
VSF and NFY. The use of POY / PFY in sarees has
increased due to the development of crimping, twisting,
texturising and wet processing technologies. These
technologies offer more flexibility in designs and
patterns. Moreover, these technologies help increase the
air permeability of POY / PFY. As a result, the fabric
would be able to absorb more moisture. POY / PFY is also
used in applications, such as soft luggage and specialty
fabrics. POY is sold by producers to the texturising
units. The texturising units process POY and sell it to
weavers (largely in the powerloom sector). Unlike PSF,
PFY is not blended with cotton by blended yarn
producers, since it is in the filament form and not in
the fiber form. However, in the powerloom stage, PFY can
be woven with other yarns.
POY / PFY is a substitute for cotton and other
synthetic yarns. POY / PFY has a number of advantages
over its substitutes, as a result of which, POY / PFY
demand increased at a CAGR of around 16% during the
period 1991-92 to 2000-01. The advantages include: Better
Properties: POY / PFY is more durable, does not
fade on exposure to sunlight or soap, has better
abrasion resistance, drape and crease recovery
properties, and is wrinkle resistant Price
Competitiveness: Since the 1990s, POY prices
have declined significantly, largely due to the decline
in the landed costs, on account of decline in the import
duty
