Products Description

Acetate tow is a thermoplastic fibrous material composed of continuous, crimped cellulose acetate filaments bundled into a rope-like structure. Derived from wood pulp-based acetate flakes, it combines biobased origins with versatile processing capabilities.

● Physical Form: Supplied as dense, compressed bales of continuous fiber tows, free of contaminants and odor.

● Material Traits: Soft, lightweight, and inherently glossy, with a smooth texture that facilitates handling and product integration.

● Purity: Chemically stable, tasteless, and non-reactive under normal conditions, suitable for direct contact in various applications.

Properties

Solvent Affinity: Highly soluble in organic solvents (e.g., acetone), enabling efficient fiber extrusion and composite formation.

Moisture Management: Exceptional hydrophilicity allows rapid liquid absorption and transport, critical for filtration and absorbent uses.

Thermal Processability: Melts at low-to-moderate temperatures, enabling heat-bonding without complex formulations.

Chemical Stability: Resistant to microbial degradation but sensitive to strong alkalis and oxidizing agents.

Advantage

Mechanical Robustness: High tensile strength and elasticity ensure durability in end-products.

Sustainability Profile: Biodegradable and recyclable, reducing environmental impact compared to synthetic fibers.

Cost Efficiency: Economical production from renewable wood pulp sources supports large-scale industrial use.

Process Versatility: Adapts to spinning, melt-blending, and filtration media fabrication with minimal processing adjustments.

Aesthetic Value: Natural sheen and soft hand-feel enhance the quality of textiles and consumer goods.

Application

Cigarette Filtration: Primary component in tobacco filters, efficiently adsorbing tar and particulates while maintaining draw resistance.

Textile Manufacturing: Spun into yarns for apparel, linings, and home textiles, praised for drape, breathability, and colorfastness.

Industrial Filtration: Used in liquid/gas separation systems for pharmaceuticals, food processing, and water treatment.

Specialty Products: Integrated into biodegradable packaging, medical absorbents, and hygiene materials for its eco-friendly and functional traits.
