Chemical fibers are fibers with textile properties that are produced from natural or synthetically derived polymeric compounds through processes such as the preparation of spinning dope, spinning, and post‑processing.
The length, fineness, whiteness, luster, and other properties of fibers can be adjusted during the manufacturing process. They also offer distinct advantages, such as resistance to light, abrasion, easy washing and quick drying, resistance to mildew and rot, and protection against insect damage. These fibers are widely used in the production of apparel fabrics, filter cloths, conveyor belts, fire hoses, ropes, fishing nets, electrical insulation wires, medical sutures, tire cord fabric, parachutes, and more. Typically, polymeric compounds are dissolved or melted and extruded through spinneret holes, after which they solidify into fibers. The resulting products may take the form of continuous filaments, short fibers cut to specified lengths, or untwisted fiber tow, among others. With regard to commercial nomenclature, China currently stipulates that synthetic staple fibers are uniformly designated with the suffix “‑lon” (e.g., nylon, polyester), while cellulosic staple fibers are uniformly designated with the suffix “‑fiber” (e.g., viscose, cuprammonium fiber). For filament yarns, the character “‑silk” is added at the end, or the suffixes “‑lon” and “‑fiber” are replaced by “‑silk.”
