- Acrylic fibers are
synthetic fibers made from a polymer with an average molecular weight of
~100,000.
- Acrylic fibers are
modified to give special properties best suited for particular end-uses.
They are unique among synthetic fibers because they have an uneven
surface, even when extruded from a round-hole spinneret.
- Acrylic is
lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It dyes very well
and has excellent colorfastness.
- It is resilient,
retains its shape, and resists shrinkage and wrinkles. It is quite
varied in form and sometimes has an appearance similar to wool or
cotton.
- Acrylic has recently
been used in clothing as a cheaper alternative to cashmere, due to the
similar feeling of the materials.
- Acrylic fibers are
manufactured in staple fibers, almost with a wet spinning process.
However some fibers are manufactured with a dry spinning process. Such
dry spun fibers have different fabric hand from that of wet spun fibers
and are developing in a variety of new end-uses.
- Acrylic fibers are
manufactured in a wide variety of characteristics such as those
lustered, delustered, with soft tactile feeling, and with rigid tactile
feeling.
- There are many other
types of acrylic modified fibers such as animal-like fibers with oval
cross-section, thermal resistant fibers, anti-pilling fibers,
antibacterial and deodorant fibers, and anti-static fibers.
- Acrylic fibers are
widely used, making the most of their characteristics, for knitted
products such as sweater and jersey; bedding textiles such as blankets
and Pile sheets; and carpets for home-uses. In addition, rag animals and
western wigs are the products making use of acrylic fibers.
- The focus of the
worldwide acrylic fiber market is shifting towards developing regions.
Since the early 1990s, the production of acrylic fiber in developed
regions such as, the US and Europe has declined, leading to closure of
several production units.
- The increasing
production in Asian regions is a result of soaring domestic demand and
dependence of the western nations on low-cost production centers in
Asia.
