Types and Manufacturing Process of Chemical Fibers

Regenerated Fibers
Cellulose (natural polymer) contained in the wood pulp or cotton is once solved with chemicals and then regenerated into fibers.
  • Rayon Fibers
  • Polynosic Fibers
  • Cuprammonium Fibers
Semi-Synthetic Fibers
After treated with chemical agents, natural materials such as cellulose or protein are re-generated into fibers.
  • Acetate Fibers
  • Triacetate Fibers
  • Promix Fibers
Synthetic Fibers
Fibers manufactured from products artificially synthesized from petroleum as raw materials.
  • Polyester Fibers
  • Acrylic Fibers
  • Modacrylic Fibers
  • Nylon Fibers
  • Vinylon Fibers
  • Polypropyrene Fibers
  • Polyurethane Fibers
  • Polyvinyl Chloride Fibers
  • Polyethylene Fibers
  • Vinylidene Fiber
  • Polychlal Fibers
  • Benzoate Fibers
  • Aramid Fibers
Inorganic Fibers
Fibers of inorganic products manufactured from metals and glass. A carbon fiber is also included in these fibers.
  • Glass Fibers
  • Metallic Fibers
  • Carbon Fibers
