Celanese Cellulose Acetate Tow

Celanese Cellulose Acetate Tow

Acetate Tow is an acetic acid fiber made from natural cellulose through esterification reaction, and then processed into bundled continuous fibers through spinning, drawing, curling and cutting. It is a typical regenerated cellulose fiber, which is widely used in cigarette filters, medical filter materials, air purification, and new environmentally friendly materials due to its unique structure and excellent filtering performance.

product-766-371

Main performance characteristics

 

Excellent filtration performance The porous structure and good hydrophilicity of acetate tow give it excellent filtration efficiency, especially suitable for fine filtration occasions such as tobacco filtration and air purification.

01

Strong controllability
Parameters such as the diameter, weight, and curl of acetate tow can be customized according to customer needs to adapt to different equipment and usage requirements.

02

Good biodegradability As a product made from natural cellulose, acetate fiber can be gradually degraded in the natural environment, which is environmentally friendly and pollution-free.

03

Good chemical stability: It has good tolerance to most acids and alkalis and has stable performance in most application environments.

04

Strong processability The tow can be split and cut into short fibers and filter rods of different lengths and shapes, which are suitable for the fields of cigarettes, water purification filters, etc.

05

Main application areas

Tobacco industry
Acetate tow, as the core raw material of cigarette filters, occupies more than 90% of the global filter market. It can effectively absorb tar and harmful components in smoke and enhance the smoking experience.

01

Environmentally friendly filter materials
Used in air purifiers, car air filters, masks and other products to block particulate matter and harmful gases.

02

Medical and health industry
Applied in medical masks, infusion filters, drug separation and other fields, meeting medical-grade cleanliness requirements.

03

Water treatment field
Used in household water purifiers, industrial sewage filter elements, etc., it has a certain interception effect on heavy metals and bacteria.

Production Process
 

 

Raw material preparation
Based on natural wood pulp, usually high-purity coniferous wood pulp or hardwood wood pulp is selected as the cellulose source after refining.

Acetylation: In the presence of acetic acid, acetic anhydride and a catalyst, cellulose is converted into cellulose acetate through an esterification reaction to form acetate with a high degree of polymerization.

After washing, dehydration, drying and other steps, cellulose acetate is dissolved in a suitable solvent (such as acetone) to prepare a uniform spinning solution.

Dry Spinning
The cellulose acetate solution is extruded through dry spinning, and the solvent evaporates to form continuous fibers. The temperature and wind speed are controlled to ensure the uniformity and strength of the fibers.

Drafting and curling
The fibers are stretched to increase the molecular orientation, and mechanically curled to form a corrugated structure, which improves air permeability and looseness.

Bunching and shaping
Multiple fiber bundles are assembled into a tow of uniform specifications and heat-set to stabilize their physical properties.
