What fabric is made of acrylic yarn?

Acrylic yarn is actually our common name for polyacrylonitrile fiber. This material is widely used in clothing, and its property is close to wool, so it has the reputation of "artificial wool". In terms of performance, it has good elasticity, higher strength than wool, heat resistance is second only to polyester in synthetic fibers, and light resistance is good.

After knowing what acrylic yarn is, let's take a look at the characteristics of acrylic fiber.

1. Acrylic yarn is called synthetic wool, and its elasticity and bulkiness are similar to natural wool. The thermal insulation is not inferior to wool fabrics, even about 15% higher than similar wool fabrics.

2. Acrylic yarn fabric has good dyeability and light resistance. Therefore, acrylic yarn fabric is suitable for outdoor clothing, swimwear and children's clothing.

3. Acrylic yarn fabric has poor hygroscopicity and is easy to be contaminated with dust. It will feel stuffy when wearing, but its dimensional stability is maintained well.

4. Acrylic yarn fabric has good heat resistance, ranking second to synthetic fiber, and is resistant to acid, oxidant and organic solvent, and is relatively sensitive to alkali.

5. Acrylic yarn fabric is lighter in synthetic fabric than polypropylene fiber, so it is a good light clothing material, which can be used to make mountaineering clothes, winter warm clothing, etc.

The thermal extensibility of acrylic fiber yarn is suitable for making products such as bulk yarn, wool yarn, knitted fabric and artificial fur. After the performance of acrylic fiber, it feels soft, easy to dye and has bright color. The elasticity is not as good as wool, polyester and other fibers, especially after repeated stretching, the residual deformation is large. Therefore, the cuffs and necklines of clothes made of acrylic yarn are easy to deform.

The hygroscopicity of acrylic yarn is lower than that of nylon yarn, which is easy to produce static electricity and fuzzing and pilling. Acrylic fiber yarn has low thermal conductivity and light texture, so it has good warmth retention, sunlight resistance, moth and mold resistance, and is widely used in knitted clothing. It can be dyed with disperse dyes, cationic dyes and acid dyes.
