EnglishImitation acetate fabric is a type of textile made from chemical fibers (such as polyester, viscose, etc.) that mimics the appearance and texture of real acetate fiber (cellulose acetate).
Key Differences:
-
Composition:
-
Real Acetate Fabric: Sourced from natural wood pulp-derived cellulose acetate, classified as a semi-synthetic fiber.
-
Imitation Acetate Fabric: Typically a polyester-viscose blend or polyester treated to achieve an acetate-like sheen.
-
-
Performance Comparison:
-
Imitation acetate is more cost-effective but less breathable and moisture-absorbent than real acetate.
-
Real acetate offers a silk-like drape and skin-friendly feel, while imitation acetate tends to generate static electricity and has a slightly stiffer texture.
-
-
Environmental Impact:
-
Real acetate is partially biodegradable, whereas imitation acetate (polyester-based) is difficult to degrade.
