FIBERS - ACRYLIC FIBER

Acrylic fibers are produced from acrylonitrile, a petrochemical. The acrylonitrile is usually combined with small amounts of other chemicals to improve the ability of the resulting fiber to absorb dyes. Some acrylic fibers are dry spun and others are wet spun. Acrylic fibers are used in staple or tow form.

The best properties of acrylic fiber are as follows:

A wool-like fiber often used as a wool substitute

Easily washable and highly resilient

Resistant to moths, oil stains and chemicals

High fastness values, easily able to dye

Highly resistant to sunlight exposure

A natural look and a warm feel
