Cashmilon is a trade name for polymer yarn with the properties of natural wool, produced in Japan. Its basis is polyacrylonitrile or otherwise acrylic fiber - (acrylic fiber), created from solutions polyacrylonitrile or its derivatives.
The base component is natural gas, which is processed into acetylene and hydrocyanic acid. IN During the interaction of these complex elements, a chemical reaction occurs, as a result of which the composition is converted into fiber.
Features, properties
The volumetric structure of the fiber contributes to the airiness and weightlessness of the created product. Hypoallergenic allows the material to be used for people prone to allergies.
Since when making yarn the pigment is added before the fiber is formed, the dye does not fades, and the original rich shade will be preserved.
Options cashmilona are in many ways similar to natural wool.Yarn made from this material is resistant to ultraviolet radiation and other natural phenomena, as well as to the influence of various acids, low-percentage alkaline solutions, and organic solvents. Knitted textiles, carpeting, and fabrics are made from polyacrylonitrile fiber.
Due to the property of increased hygroscopicity, the yarn easily absorbs moisture and also dries quickly.
Reference. The manufacturer, as a rule, indicates the nominal weight of the skein. Moreover, this parameter corresponds to reality at a yarn moisture level of 18.25%. In fact, this figure is much lower and may be only 14-15%. This is due to different conditions of transportation and storage of products. Therefore, if you weigh the yarn, in the room temperature and humidity level, most likely the weight of yarn will differ significantly.
Application area
The use of artificial wool is in demand for the production of various items of clothing. Soft and fluffy fabric allows you to make things that do not stretch after prolonged wear. Typically these synthetic fiber is added as an additional component in the manufacture of wool, mohair, and angora fabrics. The percentage of acrylic component may vary and is in the range of 5-60%. This to some extent reduces the thermal insulation and hygienic properties of the products, thereby optimizing their cost. Modern items women's and men's clothing, children's clothes, workwear are created from cashmilona.
Synthetic fabrics are very popular in the manufacture of stylish curtains with many folds. They stand out for their excellent strength characteristics.In addition, due to their resistance to fading, they can be placed in interiors with a lot of natural sunlight.
The nuances of weaving and the variety of types of threads provide the opportunity to produce beautiful and comfortable home textiles. In particular, polyacrylonitrile material is the basis for the production of bed linen, rugs, carpeting, slippers, and plush toys. In general, many useful things in everyday life are made from polymer wool.
Reference. A special area of application for synthetic cashmilona is the creation of promotional products. It is used for banners, streamers, awnings and awnings, acting as a durable alternative to paper canvas.
However, acrylic threads are mainly used for the textile industry, as well as for hand knitting warm and cozy knitwear.
