The selection of acetate tow mainly considers the following aspects:
Composition ratio: The composition ratio of acetate tow has an important influence on its performance. For example, 100% acetate tow is usually more expensive, but you can also choose blended fabrics, such as 72% acetate + 28% polyester, which is also a very good ratio.
Type selection: Acetate tow is divided into diacetate (CDA) and triacetate (CTA). Diacetate is better in wear resistance and moisture absorption, while triacetate is better in heat resistance, gloss and plasticity. When choosing, you can weigh it according to specific needs and budget.
Performance comparison: Compared with silk, acetate differs in moisture absorption, strength and wear resistance. The moisture absorption of acetate is about 1/2 of silk, and its strength is not as good as silk, but it has better wear resistance and is easier to care for. In addition, acetate fiber also has excellent dyeing performance and good formability, which can present a generous and elegant appearance.
Price range: The price of acetate fiber tow is relatively affordable, ranging from 50 to 150 yuan per meter, while the price of silk is between 80 and 300 yuan per meter, which is about twice the price of acetate fabric.
