Sweet Forest
Acetate (Shandong) Environmental Fiber Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Jinan Acetate Group, is currently the only company in China capable of producing cellulose diacetate filament yarn. Its production equipment is the first set of its kind in Asia.
With inherent excellence and sustainability, cellulose diacetate has become an irreplaceable, eco-friendly and low-carbon material for fashion applications.
Benefiting from favorable timing, geographical advantages and strong teamwork, Acetate (Shandong) has filled the domestic gap where cellulose diacetate filament yarn was previously only available through imports. The company will occupy an important position in the global cellulose diacetate filament market.
Acetate(Shandong) ’s cellulose diacetate filament yarn “Sweet Forest” is a low-carbon biomass fiber.It is mainly used in air-jet, rapier and jacquard weaving machines. In addition to being directly used as warp and weft yarns, it can be twisted and compounded with polyester, nylon, viscose, cotton, rayon and other yarns to create composite acetate fabrics with varied performance.
Sweet Forest’s primary specifications are 75D/22F BR and 120D/35F BR.The fiber is widely applied in apparel fabrics, especially in the popular New Chinese-chic garments, where acetate content can exceed 85%.
Advantages of Cellulose Diacetate Fiber
1. Excellent Thermoplasticity：Cellulose diacetate fiber exhibits outstanding formability, enabling fabrics to enhance body contours with an elegant and refined aesthetic.
2. Superior Dyeability：The fiber can be effectively dyed with disperse dyes, delivering vivid coloration and superior dye uptake compared with other cellulose-based fibers.
3. Silk-like Appearance and Performance：
It features a luster, softness and smoothness comparable to mulberry silk. With a similar specific gravity, it provides equivalent drape performance.
Acetate fabrics are quick-drying, mildew-resistant and insect-resistant, with better elasticity than viscose fiber.
4. Properties Close to Mulberry Silk：
Characterized by low initial modulus, the fiber has a moisture regain lower than viscose and mulberry silk but higher than synthetic fibers.
Its wet/dry strength ratio, loop strength, knot strength and elastic recovery rate are all comparable to mulberry silk, making it the chemical fiber with performance closest to natural silk.
5. Anti-static and Easy Care Performance：
The fiber is resistant to static electricity and dust adhesion. It is suitable for dry cleaning, hand washing and machine washing at temperatures below 40°C.
It overcomes the limitations of silk and wool fabrics (e.g., dust attraction, dry-clean only requirement, insect damage) while maintaining wool-like resilience and a smooth handfeel, ensuring ease of maintenance and storage.
Market Positioning
Given its relatively high cost, cellulose diacetate fabric is primarily applied in mid-to-high-end apparel, and is often replaced by conventional satin or TR fabrics in lower-priced segments.
Application Areas
Acetate fabrics are widely used in:
Dresses, skirts, trousers, blouses and outerwear
Slip dresses represent a premium and classic application.Diverse designs can be developed by leveraging variations in drape and surface texture.
