Acrylic fibres

  • Chapter
Manufactured Fibre Technology

Abstract

Next to polyester and polyamides, acrylic fibres occupy an eminent position in the family of synthetic fibres. The importance of acrylic fibres has been shown by their phenomenal growth and their popularity throughout the world. Acrylic fibres have replaced wool in many major applications, particularly in hand knitting and hosiery garments. The majority of knitting yarns are usually bulky yarns which go into the manufacture of pullovers, sweaters, socks, etc. Blankets and carpet are other applications where acrylic fibre competes with wool because of its high elasticity, colour brilliancy, voluminosity, ease of washing, resistance to pilling and good light and colour fastness. Because of these properties, and also due to the ease with which modifications can be made during synthesis, spinning and finishing, acrylic fibres have experienced a tremendous growth since their introduction by Du Pont, USA, in 1950.
