Acrylic Fibers are man-made fiber that are composed of acrylonitrile and a monomer, and is almost resemble to wood in its feature. The co-monomer is applied to acrylic fiber to enhance the texture of the fabric. It is produced via two process: dry spinning and wet spinning. It is widely used to produce sweaters and tracksuits. Moreover, it is also used in manufacturing of lining of gloves and boots. Acrilonitrile is a raw material used in the production of acrylic fibers.
