Polyester Fully Drawn Yarn commonly known as Polyester FDY refers to a multi-filament yarn that is fully stretched. As the name suggests FDY does not need to be processed further and therefore can be directly used to make fabrics. FDY is produced in a similar way to Polyester POY however the difference being, FDY is spun at much higher speeds and is coupled with heated drawing at the same time. This allows stabilization through molecular orientation and crystallization. As the process of texturizing is avoided, FDY yields higher contribution as compared to the normal POY. FDY can be knitted or woven individually or with any other filament yarn to get fabrics of different varieties. FDY is available in two lusters, Semi-Dull and Bright.
This yarn is used for direct twisting, multiplies yarns, beaming, and direct knitting. And FDY threads are mostly used to make non-textured fabrics such as hospital clothes, pads, surgical sets, wound healing, wet tissues, sanitary napkins, baby diapers, coatings, insulating, flooring, carpeting, etc.

FDY application has a wide range.

FDY thread is used in different types of shrinkage and areas of the textile industry. For example, FDY threads with a high shrinkage are used in fabricating cloth and curtain fabrics and create a blooming structure on the fabric surface. On the other hand, FDY threads with a low shrinkage are widely used in the blanket industry.
