The Important role of Polyester DTY

The Important role of Polyester DTY

Polyester DTY fabric is an exceptional textile fabric that can be used to craft clothing, home decor items, seat covers, and bags - among other uses. Known for its moisture-wicking nature and ease of care, polyester DTY can serve as an economical and long-term replacement to cotton blends such as TENCELTM or cotton fabrics; available in semi-dull, bright, and trilobal bright based on filament usage; providing elegant looks and feel in clothing items or furniture it covers.

Polyester Drawn Textured Yarn (DTY) is the primary form of polyester yarn made directly from PTA/MEG or by spinning PET chips, and designed specifically to texturize fabric suitable for weaving and warp knitting. DTY fabric can then be further used in apparel fabrics like shirts, pants, dresses, and skirts as well as automotive seat covers and headliners.

Polyester fabric is a highly sought-after polyester product. It is produced using twisting and heat-setting processes, with key features including high breaking strength, elastic modulus, soft hand feel, comfortable hand feel, good traceability, bulkiness thermal insulation as well as strong corrosion resistance properties that make this fabric highly desirable among customers globally. Furthermore, its recycling properties make this fabric eco-friendly and recyclable; therefore it has gained immense popularity globally.

As part of its production process, this fabric is twisted and drawn, producing an effect similar to that of an accordion. Composed of polyester blended with another type of plastic called cyclic olefin copolymer plastics, its mixture allows the dye to absorb at different levels for two-color printing at once as well as being durable enough for repeated washing cycles.

PET cotton-like yarn is produced by simultaneously twisting and drawing partially oriented polyester yarns using high-speed texturizing machines, creating dense crimped fabric with a natural hand feel that is used for clothing production, home textiles, and garments. This type of PET yarn offers a similar hand feel as polyester yet provides superior flexibility and elasticity compared to regular polyester thread. It can also be referred to as PET cotton-like yarn.

Polyester fabrics that feature crimped structures have the unique ability to cling closely to the body while being highly resistant to abrasion and stretch, keeping their shape even after several washes - ideal for long-term wear garments like clothing. Furthermore, this type of polyester fabric is easy to sew and boasts great drapeability making it an excellent material choice for clothing manufacturers.

There are various varieties of polyester DTY available, including cotton-like and antibacterial. These DTYs contain both polyester and an antibacterial agent to combat bacteria growth; making them suitable for medical textiles as well as infant clothing.
