Feedstock for Polyester (DTY)

The feedstock involved in the production of Polyester (DTY) is polyester POY. Polyester POY is derived from polyethylene terephthalate (PET) chips, which are sourced from raw materials like paraxylene and ethylene glycol. Therefore, the availability of these raw materials plays an important role in determining sourcing strategies for polyester POY. Any fluctuations in supply or disruptions in the production of PET chips can also directly impact the availability of POY, which further impacts the sourcing of polyester POY. The demand for end-products made from polyester, such as textiles, apparel, and industrial fabrics, significantly influences the production levels of polyester POY.

A rise in demand for these products can lead to increased production of POY, which also influences its pricing and sourcing decisions. The demand for recycled polyester or environmentally friendly production methods with rising environmental concerns can also affect the sourcing of polyester POY. Advances in the manufacturing process, such as improvements in extrusion or spinning technology, can also impact the quality, efficiency, and versatility of POY production. Thus, companies investing in advanced technology can have more cost-effective or higher-quality POY, which further influences sourcing decisions for polyester POY.
 

Market Drivers for Polyester (DTY)

The primary factor that drives the market for Polyester (DTY) is its demand as a material across various textile applications, from sportswear and home textiles to technical fabrics. Its utilization as a high-strength and elastic material in the manufacturing of activewear, sportswear, casual clothing, and accessories largely contributes to its demand in the textile and apparel industry. Its application as a durable material in manufacturing suitcases, sports bags, and car interior fabrics like car seat covers, airbags, etc., further enhances its demand in the technical textiles and automotive industries. Its usage as a material in the production of protective clothing, curtains, bedding, upholstery fabrics, and furnishings also boosts its demand in the home textiles, industrial, and technical textiles industries.

Polyester DTY is produced from Polyester Partially Oriented Yarn (POY), which in turn is made from purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and mono-ethylene glycol (MEG), both derived from petrochemicals. The availability and price of these raw materials is closely linked to the global crude oil prices. Therefore, variations in the availability and prices of crude oil directly affect the production and costs of polyester DTY. Any shortage or disruption in the supply of PTA or MEG due to refinery issues, geopolitical tensions, or trade restrictions also significantly affects production and industrial Polyester DTY procurement. Growing consumer and brand demand for recycled and eco-friendly DTY also greatly affects its pricing and procurement strategies. DTY production is an energy-consuming process. Therefore, fluctuations in electricity and fuel prices can significantly affect production costs and procurement strategies for polyester DTY.

CAPEX refers to the money spent on setting up and preparing the entire polyester DTY manufacturing plant. It includes investments involved in buying and installing big machines like POY creel, filament cutter, feed rollers, deformation hot box, cooling plate, electric spindle, PU disc, yarn guide, and two-roller steel roller. It also includes the cost of installing the netting device, yarn detector, automatic doffer, and winding unit. It also covers the cost of building the factory, storage areas, offices, and other infrastructure. Land acquisition and power connections or backup generators are also a part of CAPEX. Expenses related to technology licenses or automation systems to improve efficiency also add to capital expenditure.

OPEX (Operating Expenditure) refers to the day-to-day costs of running the polyester DTY plant. It includes buying raw materials like partially oriented yarn (POY), electricity and fuel to run machines, and water for cooling and processing. It also covers employee salaries, maintenance of machines, spare parts, and factory cleaning. Other regular expenses like packaging, transportation, waste disposal, and utility bills also contribute to OPEX. Additionally, ongoing costs for quality checks, safety gear, insurance, and administrative work are also covered under the continuous expenses (OPEX) needed to keep the plant running smoothly every day.
 

Manufacturing Process

This report comprises a thorough value chain evaluation for Polyester (DTY) manufacturing and consists of an in-depth production cost analysis revolving around industrial Polyester (DTY) manufacturing.

• Production via Twisting, Hanking, Dyeing and Winding: The feedstock required for this process includes Polyester POY.

The production process of Polyester Drawn Textured Yarn (DTY) begins with stretching polyester partially oriented yarn (POY) and heating it, followed by cooling. After cooling, two yarns are mechanically twisted together to enhance strength and elasticity. Further, the twisted yarns are hanked, a process that loosens the yarn to allow better dye penetration. Finally, the yarns undergo dyeing and winding, which results in the formation of Polyester DTY or Polyester-Drawn Textured Yarn as the product.
 

Properties of Polyester (DTY)

Polyester DTY (Draw Textured Yarn) is a synthetic fiber known for its unique combination of physical and chemical properties. It has a crimped and bulky structure that gives fabrics softness, elasticity, and a plush feel, which also makes them resistant to wrinkling, shrinking, and stretching. Polyester DTY is strong and durable, with high tenacity and excellent abrasion resistance, and it maintains its integrity and color even after repeated washing. It is hydrophobic and absorbs very little moisture, yet its textured structure allows for effective moisture-wicking, making it comfortable for activewear.

The fiber has a density of about 1.38–1.40 g/cm³ and a melting point between 250–265 degree Celsius, which allows it to be heat-set into permanent shapes and textures. Polyester DTY is resistant to most acids and weak alkalis but can be degraded by strong alkalis at high temperatures. It is generally resistant to organic solvents and most bleaching agents, and it can be dyed using dispersed dyes. Polyester is also highly resistant to mildew, bacteria, and UV degradation.
