Acrylic is a synthetic fiber that is produced from the petrochemical acrylonitrile. Yarns and fabrics made from acrylic fibers are light-weight, colourfast, and easy to launder, although they can fuzz and pill.
• Courtelle® is the quality assured brand from the worlds leading supplier of dyed acrylic fibre, Acordis Acrylics, UK. With the rigour that we apply to every aspect of the Courtelle fibre process comes the assurance of absolute quality and ultimate creativity.
There are a few type of Courtelle: Optic White, Low PILL, Schoolwear, Bi-Component, Type 10, Recoil, Standard, Courtelle Supermatt and Neochrome. - courtelle.com
• Dralon® is a trademark for German acrylic made on plants in Dormagen and Lingen using dry-spun and wet-spun technology. Dralon GmbH is the largest producer of dry- and wet-spun acrylic fibers worldwide. Dry-spun fibers are a specialty among acrylic fibers. With their dog bone cross-section they come closest to natural fibers in handling and appearance. They are ideally suited to all blends with natural fibers such as wool, cotton, linen, mohair, etc. Wet-spun types show the known and certified Dralon quality and high reliability. With their kidney cross-section they are best suited to brilliant shades in the whole range of colours within many fields of applications. All Dralon fibers show outstanding light and weather resistance and give garments easy wash and wear properties.
