Acrylic

We withdraw, with own means, textile waste of acrylic coming from stocking factories, webbings, spinnings, textile laboratories. Initially the material comes subdivided based on its type. Successively the acrylic textile waste, already selected, it comes packed with hydraulic press. Bales (MPS) come thus stocking in warehouse ready for the sale.

WHAT IS ACRYLIC?
The Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (Polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units. To be called acrylic in the U.S, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer. Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate. The Dupont Corporation created the first acrylic fibers in 1941 and trademarked them under the name "Orlon". About textile use, acrylic is lightweight, soft, and warm, with a wool-like feel. It dyes very well and has excellent colorfastness. It is resilient, retains its shape, and resists shrinkage and wrinkles. Acrylic has recently been used in clothing as a less expensive alternative to cashmere, due to the similar feeling of the materials. The disadvantages of acrylic are that it tends to fuzz or pill easily and that it does not insulate the wearer as well as cashmere. Many products like fake pashmina or cashmina use this fiber to create the illusion of cashmere. Acrylic is resistant to moths, oils, and chemicals, and is very resistant to deterioration from sunlight exposure. However, static and pilling can be a problem.
