Drawn Textured Yarn
(DTY) yarn is obtained when Polyester
POY is simultaneously twisted & drawn. DTY yarn is mainly used
in weaving & knitting of fabrics for making clothes, home
furnishings, seat covers, bags and many other uses. DTY yarn can be
in Semi Dull or Bright or Trilobal Bright depanding upon the type
of sections of filaments.
Technical Properties of DTY yarn can be moulded in several ways to
make the yarn suitable for its vast uses. Different heating
techniques can be used to make the yarn set for specific use - 1
Heater DTY is normally woolly & more stretchable as compared to
DTY with 2 Heater. Also the DTY yarn can be made with several
combinations of Intermingle points - it can
be Non-Intermingle (NIM) having 0 - *0
knots/meter or Semi-Intermingle
(SIM) having *0 - *0 knots/meter
or High-Intermingle (HIM) having **0 -
**0 knots/meter. These knots are not actually the knots tied when
two threads are broken but they are the tangle knots created by
heating pressure. These Intermingle yarns, also known
as Interlaced yarn, are the replacement for
lightly twisted yarns. Polyester DTY yarn can also be twisted to
high twists like ***0 TPM or ***0 TPM (twist per meter). Such
twisted yarn can also be heat-set to make the yarn permanently
thermo-set the twist. Catonic DTY is
another variant of Polyester DTY that is mainly used in blankets.
Catonic DTY is made from Catonic PET Chips.
