Acrylic (II) Staple
Acrylic fiber is a synthetic fiber made from a polymer called polyacrylonitrile (PAN). It's known for its versatility, durability, and affordability, making it a popular choice for various textile applications.
Acrylic (II) Staple (wet spun)
Acrylic fibers produced by Iran Polyacryl Company have a fineness ranging from 1.3 to 16.7 dtex. These fibers can be used in their pure form or in blends during the spinning and yarn preparation processes for applications in weaving, blanket manufacturing, and carpet making. The advantages of this product include easy washing, easy dyeing, resistance to chemicals, resistance to sunlight, color fastness, softness, and strength.

Key Properties of Acrylic Fiber
Acrylic fiber is a synthetic fiber made from a polymer called polyacrylonitrile (PAN). It’s known for its versatility, durability, and affordability, making it a popular choice for various textile applications.
Here are the key properties of acrylic fiber:
Warmth: Acrylic fibers have excellent thermal insulation properties, making them ideal for winter clothing.
Durability: They are resistant to abrasion, fading, and mildew.
Softness: Acrylic fibers can be made to feel soft and cozy, similar to wool.
Easy Care: They are easy to care for, requiring minimal ironing and resistant to wrinkles.
Affordability: Acrylic fibers are relatively inexpensive to produce.
Dry-Spun vs. Wet-Spun Acrylic Fiber
The two primary methods used to produce acrylic fibers are dry-spinning and wet-spinning:
1. Dry-Spun Acrylic Fiber:
Process: A polymer solution is extruded through spinnerets into a warm air chamber. The solvent evaporates, leaving behind solid fibers.
Properties: Dry-spun acrylic fibers are known for their high strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals. They are commonly used in carpets, upholstery, and industrial textiles.
2. Wet-Spun Acrylic Fiber:
Process: A polymer solution is extruded through spinnerets into a coagulation bath. The solvent is removed, and the fibers are coagulated into solid form.
Properties: Wet-spun acrylic fibers are softer and more comfortable than dry-spun fibers. They are often used in clothing, blankets, and other consumer products.
Both dry-spun and wet-spun acrylic fibers offer unique properties and are used in a wide range of applications. The choice of method depends on the desired properties of the final fiber.
