The process characteristics of acetate fiber tow mainly include the following aspects:
Raw materials: The main raw material of acetate fiber tow is cellulose, of which natural cellulose mainly comes from plant fibers such as mossir bamboo, wood bamboo, and hemp bamboo, while artificial fibers mainly come from artificial cellulose, polyester fibers, etc.
Production process: The production process of acetate fiber tow includes steps such as raw material crushing, sol treatment, drawing and heat treatment. First, the cellulose raw material is crushed, and then the crushed cellulose is mixed with starch acetate for sol treatment. Then, the sol liquid is injected into the cellulose drawing machine, and through the process of stretching, heating, etc., it is formed into a slender fiber bundle.
Performance characteristics: Acetate fiber tow has the advantages of natural fiber and chemical fiber, with delicate taste, soft feel, good water absorption and air permeability, and also has multiple functions such as dustproof, antibacterial, and antistatic. In addition, acetate fiber tow has good thermoplasticity and excellent dyeability, and its dyeing performance is better than other cellulose fibers.
Application areas: Acetate tow is widely used in the production of various fiber products, such as high-end fabrics, fabrics, handicrafts, wipes, cleaning cloths, etc. In these products, acetate tow can play a good role in water absorption, heat preservation and breathability, and enhance the applicability of the product.
Environmental protection characteristics: Acetate tow has good biodegradability and has certain environmental protection advantages. With the continuous attention to environmental protection and the increasing demand for biodegradable materials, the application prospects of acetate tow will be broader.
