Key Notes:
- Denier: Indicates the thickness of the fiber. Lower denier means finer fibers.
- Tenacity: Measures the strength of the fiber. Higher values indicate stronger fibers.
- Elongation at Break: Reflects the fiber's stretchability before breaking.
- Moisture Regain: Indicates the fiber's ability to absorb moisture.
- Boiling Water Shrinkage: Measures the fiber's stability when exposed to high temperatures.
- Oil Content: Lubricant added to improve processing and reduce friction.
- Melting Point: The temperature at which the fiber begins to melt.
- Density: The mass per unit volume of the fiber.
- UV Resistance: Measures the fiber's ability to withstand ultraviolet light.
- Thermal Stability: Indicates the fiber's performance under high temperatures.
- Acid/Alkali Resistance: Measures the fiber's resistance to weak acids and alkalis.
- Biodegradability: The percentage of the fiber that degrades under specific conditions.
- Filtration Efficiency: The effectiveness of the fiber in filtering particles (especially for cigarette filters).
