The fiber invented in Japan and grown world-wide. This is a vinylon fiber. This fiber is said to be the most similar to cotton fibers since vinylon fiber is most moisture absorbent among synthetic fibers. Vinylon fiber is widely used for industrial, agricultural, fishing uses, because it is light in weight, durable and resistant to weathering.
Although vinylon fibers is produced mainly in staple fiber, it is also produced in filament yarn. Fabric hand of some filament yarn is similar to that of silk yarn.

1. The specific gravity is 1.26~1.30. Vinylon fiber is lighter in weight than rayon, acetate, wool and cotton fibers.
2. Especially, excellent in resistance to abrasion.
3. Most similar to the tactile feeling of cotton fiber and most moisture absorptive among synthetic fibers.
4. Resistant to acid and alkali. Difficult to rot. Non-attackable by molds and insects.
