Partially Oriented Yarn (POY) is a type of synthetic yarn that is made by a continuous filament process. POY is created by melting and extruding polyester chips through spinnerets to form filaments, which are then stretched and partially oriented in one direction using a heated drawing process. The partially oriented filaments are then wound onto spools, which can be used for further processing or sold as is.

POY is known for its high strength, durability, and ability to be easily dyed. It is commonly used in a variety of textile applications, such as fabrics, carpets, and industrial products. The yarn can be further processed into textured yarn, which is used in a range of applications, including clothing, upholstery, and home furnishings.

POY is available in various deniers and filament counts, which allows manufacturers to produce yarns that meet specific requirements for strength, texture, and color. The yarn is also available in different finishes, including bright, dull, and semi-dull, which can affect the yarn’s appearance and texture.
