93 chemical fiber products terminology, hurry to write down!

chemical fiber.webp

GB/T 4146.2-2017 “Textile Chemical Fibers Part 2: Product Terminology” was officially implemented on December 1, 2017. The standard defines the terms and definitions of various chemical fiber products used in textiles or other applications. It is also a re-revision of an old standard that is more than 30 years old. Compared with GB/T 4146-1984, the main changes of the corresponding new standard are 3.

  1. from the original standard of a clause, independent for a standard, the number of terms from the original 39 increased to 93.
  2. according to the characteristics of chemical fiber products, according to 6 categories given to see the product terminology of chemical fiber
  3. added three categories of fiber terms: bio-based, smart and recycled
  4. two categories of functional and high-performance fiber terms were added; the terms related to deformed filaments were deleted.

Our company has compiled the names and definitions of 93 chemical fibers given in the standard, do you know them all?
