22% Growth in Polyester Yarn Output

Iran produced 197,500 tons of polyester yarn during the first eight months of the current Iranian year (March 21-Nov. 21) to register an increase of around 22% compared with the output in last year’s corresponding period.

Polyester fiber is one of the widely used commercial fibers in weaving, knitting, embroidery, sewing and home furnishings.
There are basically three types of polyester yarns:
- Polyester filament yarns, which enjoy high demand in the global market and are made from PET polyester. These yarns have numerous applications in the modern fiber manufacturing industries. 
- Spun yarns, which produced by using PCDT or cut PET. 
- Textured yarns, which are created by twisting and drawing polyester POY. The PET multifilament is used in its creation.
