Study Notes
Synthetic Fibres Overview
- Synthetic fibres are made from raw materials derived from petrochemicals and natural sources.
Cellulose-based Synthetic Fibre
- Rayon is the synthetic fibre produced from cellulose obtained from wood pulp.
Wrinkle-resistant Synthetic Fibre
- Polyester is known for its excellent wrinkle resistance and ability to spring back into a smooth shape after being creased.
Nylon Production
- The main raw material used in the production of Nylon is petroleum-based chemicals, primarily hexamethylene diamine and adipic acid.
Lightweight and Durable Synthetic Fibre
- Microfiber is a type of synthetic fibre that is lightweight, strong, durable, and features quick-drying properties due to its ability to allow easy evaporation of moisture.
