Product Introduction of Cellulose Acetate Tow
Cellulose Acetate Tow is a type of man - made fiber tow produced using cellulose as the raw material through chemical treatment. It is made by esterifying natural cellulose with esterifying agents such as acetic anhydride under the action of a catalyst to generate cellulose acetate, and then processing it into a tow - shaped product through spinning and other processes.
Cellulose Acetate Tow usually has the appearance of long, white fiber tows with soft texture and a certain luster. It features good flexibility and processability, with uniformly thick fibers and a smooth hand feel. From the perspective of microstructure, its fibers have a unique pore structure inside, which plays a crucial role in its performance and applications.
Specifications of Cellulose Acetate Tow
Linear density: The common linear density range is between 1.0 - 30.0 deniers. Linear density is an indicator for measuring the thickness of fibers; the smaller the value, the thinner the fiber. Cellulose Acetate Tows with different linear densities are suitable for different production needs. For example, the tow used for high - end cigarette filters has a relatively small linear density, generally around 2.0 - 3.0 deniers, which can provide better filtering effect and taste.
Length: There are various length specifications, and generally, the length of a single filament is between 40 - 100 millimeters. Longer fiber tows are more likely to ensure the uniformity and stability of products such as filters during processing.
Crimp count: The crimp count is an indicator for measuring the crimp degree of Cellulose Acetate Tow, and usually, the number of crimps per centimeter is around 4 - 8. Appropriate crimping can increase the cohesion between fibers and improve the bulkiness and filtering performance of the tow.
Moisture content: Generally, the moisture content is required to be controlled between 3% - 6%. Excessively high moisture content may affect the physical properties and storage stability of the tow, while excessively low moisture content may cause the tow to be too dry and generate static electricity and other problems during the processing.
