What is acrylic pure cotton velvet?

Acrylic is also called acrylic, and its chemical name is methyl methacrylate, which is high-purity plexiglass. The acrylic fiber contained in the sweater is acrylic fiber, but it is different from the original acrylic fiber in treatment.

It is an important anti-pilling and anti-deformation component, so it will be added to some wool products now. At the same time, it can increase the strength and smoothness of wool. If there are more acrylic components, the feel, warmth and elasticity of the sweater will be much worse. The best thing is that the wool content reaches 70%.

Acrylic fiber was invented by DuPont in 1950. Its appearance is round or splayed, its surface is smooth, and it is not easy to absorb water, acid, alkali and sunlight, and it is not easy to yellow and dye. It has good shape and feels like wool, but its warmth retention is not as good as wool, and the surface of the finished product is easy to pilling, which is usually called polyacrylonitrile fiber. Acrylic fiber is the trade name of polyacrylonitrile fiber in China.
