Research Summary

Acetate tow, also known as cellulose acetate tow, is a fibrous material primarily composed of cellulose acetate. It＇s produced through the processing of purified cellulose fibers derived from natural sources like wood pulp or cotton. Cellulose acetate is created by reacting cellulose with acetic acid or acetic anhydride, resulting in a compound that can be easily dissolved in solvents like acetone. This dissolved cellulose acetate is then extruded through spinnerets to form continuous filaments, which are subsequently cooled and solidified into a continuous tow. Acetate tow is widely used in the production of cigarette filters, where its porous structure helps to trap tar and particulate matter, reducing the harmful effects of smoking. Additionally, it finds applications in various industries including textiles, photography, and as a component in certain types of plastics and films.
