Celanese and Milliken Re-Introduce Luxurious Triacetate Fabrics
Triacetate yarn produces natural, silk-like wovens. It can be textured, combined with other yarns, or package dyed for wovens. It can be dyed at high temperatures to produce brilliant color ranges. It has thermal memory and can be heat set; thus, fabrics of Celanese triacetate are machine washable.
The new triacetate and triacetate-blended woven fabric collection is aimed at the women's wear, men's wear and home fashions end use areas. The collection includes stretch crepes, crepes with "fil a fil" tweed effects, mid to lightweight satins, shirting fabrics and many other variations. The fabrics have deep, rich colors and are breathable, extremely comfortable, pleatable and washable.
According to Celanese Acetate General Manager, Phil Cogbill, "We are pleased to announce the rebirth of triacetate for the Americas' markets and delighted to be partnering initially with Milliken & Company."
Celanese Acetate is the world's largest producer of acetate and one of the only two producers of triacetate for apparel and linings.
