How to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic yarn?

Acrylic yarn is a type of synthetic fiber yarn that has excellent elasticity, wear resistance, and color fading resistance, and is widely used in the fields of clothing, household goods, and so on. The main ways to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of acrylic yarn are as follows:

Firstly, the quality of acrylic yarn can be judged by observing its appearance. High quality acrylic yarn has a smooth surface without burrs, chipping, and other phenomena, with neat lines and uniform colors. Poor quality acrylic yarn may have problems such as fading, breakage, and knotting, with uneven lines and colors.

Secondly, the quality of acrylic yarn can be judged by its feel. High quality acrylic yarn has a soft and delicate feel, with a certain degree of elasticity and is not easy to break. Poor quality acrylic yarn has a rough and hard texture, lacks elasticity, and is prone to breakage.

Once again, the quality of acrylic yarn can be judged through tensile testing. Pull the acrylic yarn by hand, high-quality acrylic yarn has high tensile strength and is not easily deformed or broken; Poor quality acrylic yarn has low tensile strength and is prone to deformation and breakage.

In addition, the quality of acrylic yarn can also be judged through combustion testing. Ignite a small section of acrylic yarn. High quality acrylic yarn has a caramel like odor when burned, and there will be a small black residue after the flame is extinguished; When low-quality acrylic yarn burns, it emits black smoke and a pungent odor. After the flame is extinguished, there is a large amount of black residue.

Overall, identifying the quality of acrylic yarn requires comprehensive consideration from multiple aspects, including appearance, feel, tension, and combustion. When purchasing acrylic yarn, it is recommended to choose products produced by legitimate manufacturers and pay attention to the quality certificate and brand information of the products to ensure the purchase of high-quality acrylic yarn.
