Acetate

description Acetate Overview

Acetate is a manufactured cellulosic fiber made by chemically modifying cellulose, commonly from wood pulp, into cellulose acetate and spinning it into filaments. Commercial textile production began in the 1920s, with American acetate fiber marketed by Celanese in 1924. The fiber has a smooth, lustrous surface and a fluid drape, so it has been used for garment linings, dresses, blouses, and other formal or decorative apparel.
