  2. Cellulose acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_acetate

    Rayon resists heat while acetate is prone to melting. Acetate must be laundered with care either by hand-washing or dry cleaning. [9] [10] The breathable nature of the fabric suits it for use as a lining. Acetate fabric is used frequently in wedding gowns and other bridal attire. [11]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabric_treatment

    The fabric treatment formulation is in a gelled or thickened liquid form. Four compulsory ingredients, that include, a dispersing agent, a liquid vehicle that consist of water, a fabric treatment agent, a surfactant. [14] The quaternary amines is used in the fabric treatment formulation of cationic softening or conditioning agents. The ...

  4. Lyocell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lyocell

    The development of Tencel was motivated by environmental concerns; researchers sought to manufacture rayon by means less harmful than the viscose method. [12]The Lyocell process was developed in 1972 by a team at the now defunct American Enka fibers facility at Enka, North Carolina.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taffeta

    Taffeta (archaically spelled taffety or taffata) is a crisp, smooth, plain woven fabric made from silk, nylon, cuprammonium rayons, acetate, or polyester. The word came into Middle English via Old French and Old Italian, which borrowed the Persian word tāfta (تافته), which means "silk" or "linen cloth". [1]

  6. Rayon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rayon

    Cellulose acetate shares many traits with viscose rayon and was formerly considered the same textile. However, rayon resists heat, while acetate is prone to melting. Acetate must be laundered with care either by hand-washing or dry cleaning, and acetate garments disintegrate when heated in a tumble dryer.

    Absorbency is a measure of how much amount of water a fabric can absorb as well as how fast it can absorb it. [2] Acetate Acetate is a synthetic fiber. Acrylic Acrylic fiber is a synthetic polymer fiber that contains at least 85% acrylonitrile. Aida cloth Aida cloth is a coarse open-weave fabric traditionally used for cross-stitch. Alnage

  8. Acrylic fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylic_fiber

    The polymer is formed by free-radical polymerization in aqueous suspension. The fiber is produced by dissolving the polymer in a solvent such as N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) or aqueous sodium thiocyanate, metering it through a multi-hole spinneret and coagulating the resultant filaments in an aqueous solution of the same solvent (wet spinning) or evaporating the solvent in a stream of heated ...

  9. Sharkskin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharkskin

    Sharkskin is a twill weave fabric created using acetate, rayon, worsted wool, lycra, and other plastic fibers. The arrangement of darker and brighter threads in a twill weave creates a subtle pattern of lines that run across the fabric diagonally and a two tone, lustrous appearance.
