PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Cellulose acetate is one of the oldest manmade macromolecules used extensively in the textile and polymer industries. It has an inherent advantage in that the starting material, cellulose, is a renewable natural resource. The current applications of cellulose acetate include textiles, cigarette tow, lacquers, cellulose films, and packaging. Since it is nontoxic, cellulose acetate is widely used in food packaging. Cellulose acetate has been produced from both cotton and wood pulp. Cellulose acetate is a semi-synthetic polymer obtained through the esterification of acetic acid with cellulose that is a natural polymer. Cellulose acetates with different properties are obtained depending on the esterification degree (degree of substitution).
Cellulose triacetate (fiber triacetate) finds its predominant application in the Production of high- quality cine film as it exhibits an excellent dimensional stability combined with very low flammability, in contrast with films from cellulose nitrate. Cellulose acetate finds its use as a plastic material, must be mentioned, especially mixed esters containing butyrate. Besides the acetate groups (cellulose acetobutyrate) can be melt processed, especially by injection molding to produce consumer’s goods with attractive mechanical properties and attractive appearance; but also in this field cellulose acetate stands in hard competition with synthetic plastics.
Textile applications accounted for nearly 8% of world consumption of cellulose acetate fibers in 2011; demand growth during 2011–2016 is forecast at an average annual rate of approximately 1.2%. Any entrepreneurs venture into this field will be successful.
