Man Made Fibers:

Filament fibers are spun from spinnerets with 3500 or less holes. The no. of holes in spinnerets equals to no. of filaments. There are two types of filaments- a) Mono-filament where the final filament is made of only a single filament. b) Multi-filament; where the final filament is made of more than one filament.

Staple Man Made Fibers:

Staple fibers are of limited and relatively short length. It is unit of material which is usually at least 100 times longer than thickness. Filaments are specifically made to get the staple form.

Filament Tow:

The product of 100 or more spinnerets is collected into a large rope of fibers, which is called filament tow. It is then crimped and made into staple by cutting or breaking.

Advantages of Man Made Fibers in Textile:

MMF is durable: Man made fiber is made by following a technical process and this is why this kind of textile fiber is comparatively durable.Crease Resistance: Crease resistance is good.Dimensionally stable: Natural fiber is not stable like the man made fiber. So commercially, the demand of man made fiber is huge.Higher Strength: This fiber is more stable and strengthy than the natural fiber.Better Elongation Properties.Can be made according to expectation.More regular properties.Lower cost. As the entire chemical and raw available all time in any season; the ultimate cost of mmf is less.Production does not depend on the climate. You can produce mmf in any season.The raw materials that are used to produce man made fibers are specific.
