Cellulose Acetate Filament Yarns

The main end-uses for Acetate are women’ s wear apparel fabrics and woven linings. They are pleasant and comfortable to wear and they let the skin breathe. Acetate yarns offer an excellent drape, luster and brightness.

Fabrics made of Acetate and Triacetate have the appearance and touch of silk.

Triacetate fabrics in particular, are resistant to shrinkage and creasing. They can be permanently pleated and given a moiré effect. They have good dye fastness and anti-static properties.

The yarns can be textured and twisted, and they perform well during the processes of weaving and knitting where the rather low tenacity of the yarn is compensated by its high extensibility and elasticity.

Cellulose acetate yarns can be used in almost any apparel fabric, from classic to fluid jersey and luxurious velvets.
