SEF Modacrylic is the trademarked name for Solutia's line of modacrylic
fibers. SEF is produced from a special polymer chemistry which offers
inherent flame retardancy to the fiber. SEF does not melt or drip when
exposed to flames instead it chars and helps form a barrier to further
suppress the spread of flames. In addition, SEF offers excellent textile
processing capabilities for a variety of yarn, knitted, woven, and nonwoven
applications.

fiber a
manufactured fiber in which the fiberforming substance is any long chain
synthetic polymer composed of less than 84% but at least 50% by weight of
acrylonitrile units. (-CH2CH[CN]-)x. Modacrylic fibers are made from resins
that are copolymers (combinations) of acrylonitrile and other materials,
such as vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride or vinyl bromide. Modacrylic
fibers are either dry spun or wet spun. Modacrylic Fiber have
characteristics of soft, resilien, easy to dye to bright shades, abrasion
resistant, flame resistant, quick drying, resistant to acids and alkalies,
shape retentive. It can be made to fabrics like fleece, knit-pile backing or
nonwoven fabrics. It is suitable for making garment like deep-pile coats,
trims and linings, simulated fur, wigs and hair pieces, children's
sleepwear, career apparel. Fake Furs are
often made out of this fiber. |
