| Fiber Manufacturer: |
Asahi Chemical Industry America, Inc. |
| Fiber Type: |
Polyacrylonitrile Copolymer |
| Chemical Resistance
to Acids & Alkalis: |
Good, but not excellent. |
Highest Steady Operating Temperature
with Thermal Shrinkage: |
Hot water
at 100° Celsius
for 30 minutes yields shrinkage of 5-7% . |
| Hot water
at 130° Celsius
for 30 minutes yields shrinkage of 18-20% and will turn
brownish. |
| Dry heat at 100°
Celsius for 30 minutes
yields shrinkage of 2-3% . |
| Dry heat at 130°
Celsius for 30 minutes yields shrinkage of 5-7%
and will turn brownish. |
| Hydrolysis
Properties: |
Stability of Hydrolysis is reasonably
high because the yarn is mainly composed of Polyacrylonitrile.
|
| Decomposition
Temperature: |
Between 482° and 692° Fahrenheit. |
