Chemical Fiber

Chemical Fiber

Chemical fibers are fibers made from natural or synthetic high polymers processed by chemical and physical methods. According to differences in raw materials, processing methods and compositions, chemical fibers can be divided into three major categories: regenerated fibers, synthetic fibers and inorganic fibers.

1. Regenerated Fibers Regenerated Cellulose Fibers: viscose fiber, cuprammonium fiber, chitin fiber, corn fiber, regenerated bamboo fiber, Modal, Tencel, etc. Regenerated Protein Fibers: soybean fiber, milk fiber, etc.

2. Synthetic Fibers Polyester fiber: Polyester Polyamide fiber: Nylon Polypropylene fiber: Polypropylene Polyacrylonitrile fiber: Acrylic Polyvinyl formal fiber: Vinylon

3. Inorganic Fibers: glass fiber, metal fiber, ceramic fiber, carbon fiber, etc.

4. New-type Fibers With the development of science and technology in recent years, some fibers have emerged whose overall properties are similar to traditional textile fibers but with special performances in certain aspects, collectively referred to as new-type fibers, such as naturally colored cotton, bamboo fiber, soybean fiber, Tencel, Modal, etc.

5. Differential Fibers Generally refer to fibers modified physically or chemically on the basis of original synthetic fibers to achieve changed properties. Differential fibers mainly include textured yarn, profiled fiber, composite fiber, superfine fiber, high-shrinkage fiber, easily dyed fiber, water-absorbent & moisture-absorbent fiber, mixed filament, etc.

6. Functional Fibers Fibers with specific physical and chemical properties, such as antistatic fiber and conductive fiber, far-infrared fiber, anti-ultraviolet fiber, antibacterial & deodorant fiber, color-changing fiber, phase-change fiber, flame-retardant fiber, elastic fiber, etc.
