Acetate Tow Filter Rods

Acetate Tow Filter Rods

Acetate fiber tow is a bundle of fiber materials made from natural cellulose (wood pulp) through acetylation to produce cellulose acetate, and then through dry or wet spinning. Its cross section is irregularly serrated, with high gloss, soft feel, and good thermoplasticity.

Description
product-800-800

Product Features
Physical Properties
Hygroscopicity: 6%-7% moisture regain, better than synthetic fibers.
Thermoplasticity: 160-200℃ can be thermally bonded, suitable for non-woven fabric processing.
Filtration efficiency: tar and particulate matter interception rate ≥35% (cigarette filter standard).
Chemical stability
Resistant to weak acids and alkalis, not resistant to strong alkalis (such as sodium hydroxide solution).
Environmental advantages
Biodegradable (decomposed in 1-3 years under natural conditions), replacing non-degradable polypropylene fibers.

Production process

 

Raw material preparation

Purification of wood pulp to remove impurities such as lignin and hemicellulose.

01

Acetylation reaction

Cellulose acetate is produced under the action of acetic anhydride and catalyst.

02

Spinning molding

Dry spinning: dissolve acetate in acetone, extrude through a spinneret, and then the solvent evaporates and solidifies.

Wet spinning: use other solvents (such as dichloromethane) and form in a coagulation bath.

03

Post-processing

Twist, curl, cut the yarn bundle, and adjust the single yarn denier (usually 1.5-8.0 Denier).

04

 

Application Areas

 

Tobacco industry (core application)

Cigarette filters account for more than 80% of global acetate tow consumption

01

Textile industry

Blended with cotton and silk to make high-end shirts and dresses (such as triacetate fabrics)

02

Medical and health materials

Surgical sutures, dialysis membrane materials, using their biocompatibility

03

Industrial field

Battery separator, liquid crystal display polarizer substrate.

Functional advantages
 

 

High-efficiency filtration performance
Cigarette filter: The interception rate of tar and nicotine is ≥35%, while maintaining good air permeability.

Air/liquid filtration: Ultra-fine denier tow is used for PM2.5 filter membrane and the middle layer of medical masks.
