What is triacetate fabric
Aug 05, 2022
Triacetate is a kind of Cellulose Acetate (CA), which is a chemical fiber made of Cellulose Acetate by chemical synthesis. To put it simply, it is a kind of natural wood pulp as the raw material of recycled fiber, which is a new kind of natural and high-tech fiber developed by Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan.
Triacetate is popular, mainly because it can be used with mulberry silk, known as "washable plant silk". Triacetate has a similar gloss to mulberry silk, has a smooth drape, is very soft and produces a cool touch on the skin. Compared with polyester fiber, its water absorption is good, fast drying, not easy to electrostatic. More importantly, it overcomes the shortcomings of silk and wool fabrics that are not easy to take care of and not easy to wash. It is not easy to deform and wrinkle.
In terms of sustainable development, triacetic acid fabric is made of high-purity wood pulp, and the raw materials are all from the sustainable ecological forest under good management, which is a sustainable material and eco-friendly.
Each fiber has its own advantages. Triacetate fiber is similar to mulberry silk in appearance, feel and draping.
From a professional point of view, the theory of mechanical properties, the strength of the three acetate on the low side, the breaking elongation is bigger, the ratio of wet strength and dry strength is low, but higher than that of viscose rayon, initial modulus is small, the moisture regain is lower than mulberry silk, but higher than synthetic fiber, the ratio of its strong wet and dry strength, relative hook strength and the knot strength, the elastic recovery rate and mulberry silk. Therefore, the performance of acetate fiber is the closest to mulberry silk in chemical fiber.
Which is better than mulberry silk?
Compared with mulberry silk, triacetic acid fabric is not so delicate, made of its clothes are not easy to wrinkle, can well maintain the version, better daily maintenance and care.
Mulberry silk, known as the "fiber queen", although skin-friendly breathable, smooth and soft, noble and elegant, but the shortcomings are also very obvious, care and maintenance is more troublesome, color fastness is also the soft underbelly of natural fabrics.
Understanding these advantages and disadvantages, you can choose their own fabric according to their own needs.
