All about textile fibres!

To know more about the various fibres used in the textile industry, please select the type of fibre you would like to see or you can just browse through the various fibres:

Acetate
Type : Manmade fibres
Fibre: Cellulose
Weave: Plain
Characteristics: Acetate, one of the first manufactured fibres is soft and has a crisp feel. It has the lustrous appearance of silk and excellent drapability. It is not a strong fibre, as it's resistance to abrasion is poor. It does resist shrinkage, moths, and mildew and does not absorb moisture readily. It's yarns are pliable and supple and will always sprig back to their original shape. It is fast drying and when heated becomes more pliable. Acetone and alcohol dissolve acetate fibres. Special dyes are required if it is be coloured. Today Acetate can be found in a variety of colours.
Uses: Organic solvents such as perfume and nail polish remover. Clothing, uniforms, lingerie, carpets, bathing suits, draperies, automobile upholstery, fillings for pillows, interlinings.
