Papermakers' felts:
- textile based felts used to extract water during the process of paper making.

Partially orientated yarn (POY):
- a continuous filament yarn made by extruding a synthetic polymer so that a substantial degree of molecular orientation is present in the resulting filaments, but further molecular orientation is possible. The resulting yarn will usually require a positive draw ratio in subsequent processing in order to orient the molecular structure fully and optimise the yarns tensile properties.

Partially oriented yarn:
- a continuous synthetic filament made by extruding a polymer so that a substantial degree of molecular orientation is present in the resulting filaments, but further substantial molecular orientation is still possible. The resulting yarn will usually have to be drawn in a subsequent process in order to orient the molecular structure fully and optimise the yarn's tensile properties.
