Types and Manufacturing Process of Chemical 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

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

• Acetate Fibers
• Triacetate Fibers
• Promix 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

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

• Glass Fibers
• Metallic Fibers
• Carbon Fibers
