Japan Chemical Fibers Association

Regenerated Fibers: Cellulose (natural polymer) contained in the wood pulp or cotton is once solved with chemicals and then regenerated into fibers.

Semi-Synthetic Fibers: After treated with chemical agents, natural materials such as cellulose or protein are re-generated into fibers.

Synthetic Fibers: Fibers manufactured from products artificially synthesized from petroleum as raw materials.

Inorganic Fibers: Fibers of inorganic products manufactured from metals and glass. A carbon fiber is also included in these fibers.
