Products Description
Acetate tow is a fibrous material derived from cellulose acetate. It is a key raw material, mainly used in manufacturing cigarette filters and also applied in textile and other industries.
Characteristics
● It has good flexibility and porosity, allowing efficient filtration.
● The fibers are smooth, with a silk - like luster, suitable for textile processing.
● It shows stable chemical properties, resistant to many common chemicals.
● It has good absorbency and can be modified for various uses.
Technical Parameters
○ Denier: Usually ranges from 1.5 to 5 dpf (denier per filament), affecting fiber thickness.
○ Tow count: Typically 30,000 to 150,000 denier, indicating the total thickness of the tow.
○ Moisture content: Generally around 5% - 8%, ensuring processing performance.
○ Tensile strength: About 2.5 - 4.5 cN/dtex, providing good mechanical properties.
Advantage
◇ It offers excellent filtration efficiency, effectively trapping harmful substances in cigarette smoke, meeting health - related market demands.
◇ It is easy to process, enabling mass production to meet large - scale industrial needs.
