Vinylon Market: Introduction

Vinylon is a synthetic fiber manufactured from polyvinyl alcohol using anthracite and limestone as raw materials. Vinylon is also known as vinalon or PVA fiber and was first synthesized or produced in Japan, where it was known as ‘Juche fiber’. Despite the fact that vinylon is a synthetic fiber, it behaves as a natural fiber, exhibiting properties similar to those of cotton fiber. When vinylon gets wet, it swells up and repels water, due to which it is used in the preparation of bag packs.

Vinylon fibers have high tensile strength, high Young’s modulus, low elongation and creep. They also show resistance towards UV rays, heat and certain chemicals. Vinylon fibers are easy to wash and dry, owing to which they can replace cotton fibers in many applications. They do not emit any kind of toxic gases on burning, which gives them an advantage over other synthetic fibers. Vinylon fibers find applications in fishing nets, filters, paper, geo-textiles and other non-woven applications. Vinylon is also used in agricultural applications and vinylon fibers are also used as fiber cement for roofing applications. Vinylon fibers are stiff and difficult to dye, which acts as a setback for this material.
