Types and Manufacturing Process of Chemical Fibers

SYNTHETIC FIBERS

Polyvinylidene Fibers

Fibers manufactured by copolymerization of polyvinyl chloride with polyvinylidene chloride. Resistant in chemical agents, abrasion and high in specific gravity. Widely used for household and industrial applications. However not used for clothing. Superior in sound transmission.

High-tenacity polyethylene fibers produced with a special manufacturing procedure are three times strong than (high-tenacity) nylon fibers and are used for an anchoring rope.

1. END-USES
Blinds, Artificial Turves, Curtains, Radio Grille, Brushes, Filter Cloth, Fishing Nets, Ropes, etc.
2. FEATURES
  1. Resistant to chemical agents such as acid and alkali. Does not absorb water and moisture completely.
  2. Superior in sound transmission.
  3. Flame Retardant.
  4. Heaviest among all fibers (1.70 in specific gravity).
