Acetate Fiber Tow High Grade

Acetate Fiber Tow High Grade

Cellulose Acetate Tow (abbreviated as acetate tow) is a regenerated cellulose fiber material made from natural cellulose (wood pulp or cotton linters) through acetylation. Due to its excellent filtering performance, smooth touch and biodegradable properties, it is widely used in cigarette filters, textile fabrics, medical materials and industrial filtration. At present, more than 90% of cigarette filters in the world are made of acetate tow.

Products Description

 

Pretreatment

Cellulose is activated by soaking in glacial acetic acid.

Acetylation reaction

In the presence of a catalyst (such as sulfuric acid), it reacts with acetic anhydride to produce cellulose triacetate (acetyl content 44-45%).

Hydrolysis (partial deacetylation)

Control the degree of hydrolysis to reduce the acetyl content to 52-55% to obtain acetone-soluble cellulose acetate

Preparation of spinning solution

Cellulose acetate is dissolved in acetone (concentration about 20-25%).

Spinning

The solution is extruded through the spinneret and the solvent is evaporated through the hot air channel (80-120℃) to form continuous filaments

Tow processing

Twisting: Enhance fiber cohesion

Curling: Increase filter rod bulk

advantage
 

 

Highly efficient capture of tar and particulate matter

The taste is pure and does not affect the original aroma of tobacco

Good processing performance and environmental protection characteristics

Application Areas

 

Cigarette filter (core application)
Market share: more than 85% of global acetate fiber consumption
Advantages:
Balanced hardness/breathability
Neutral taste, does not interfere with tobacco flavor

01

Textiles and clothing
High-end fabrics: imitation silk lining, satin fabric (glossy and soft)

Blended applications: blended with cotton/polyester to improve wrinkle resistance

02

Medical and sanitary materials
Medical dressings: taking advantage of their hypoallergenic properties
Dialysis membranes: high-purity tow for blood filtration

03

Industrial filtration
Air filter: resistance to organic solvents
Liquid filtration membrane: precise control of porosity
