Do you know TRIACETATE fabric? #Triacetate is an improved form of acetate. It is a type of #fiber known as a semi-synthetic, meaning that the raw material is natural, but processing with chemicals is required to create a usable fiber. Triacetate is made from combining wood pulp from trees with acetic acid. The fabric is soft, wrinkle-resistant, has a great drape, and is easy to care for. This makes it a more comfortable and more eco-friendly option than many synthetics. Within standard acetate, at least 76% of the cellulose hydroxyl groups are acetylated. In triacetate, that number is above 92%. This makes triacetate a stronger, more durable fiber, especially when wet. In addition, triacetate can withstand higher temperatures without melting than regular #acetate. The origin of acetate, which was developed as a more affordable alternative to silk, was patented in 1894. However, it wasn’t produced commercially until after World War I, where it was made by a British company. Acetate was first commercially produced in the United States in 1924, where it gained the trademark name of Celanese. These days, acetate is produced by many different manufacturers under many different names. In brief, Triacetate is a high-quality fabric that makes for wonderful garments and a great wearing experience: -Wrinkle-resistant -Shrink-resistant: -Durable -Silk-like luster -Beautiful drape -Can be ironed -Maintains beautifully crisp pleats -Dries quickly -Holds dye well -Easy care At ECO TEXTILE, we're dedicated to knowledge and innovation in the world of fabrics and clothing manufacturing.
