Polyacryl

Polyacryl belongs to the group of chemical fibres of synthetic origin.

They were produced in 1930 for the very first time. These synthetic fibres are produced through the polymerisation process and are made of polyacrylonitrile. They’re spun using the dry and wet spin process (not melted).
