| Description |
A manufactured fiber in which the fiber-forming substance is a long-chain synthetic polymer composed of at least 85% by weight of acrylonitrile units, and no more than 15% by weight of vinyl acetate. |
| Application |
Short cut Acrylic fibers are used for reinforcement in high heat applications, and to create porosity and loft in nonwovens. |
| Feature |
Dispersion: Easily dispersed in aqueous and non-aqueous systems. Surface treatment to aid dispersion applied as required. |
