Chlorofiber

Chlorofibers ( abbreviation CLF ) are a genus of chlorine-containing polyvinyl fibers with more than fifty percent by weight of chlorine, the most important group being polyvinyl chloride (PVC) standard fibers and their modifications. They consist of fibrous polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and thus belong to the group of polymer fibers . These fibers are relatively heavy and do not absorb moisture . Because of their high chlorine content, chlorofibers are considered flame-retardant and have a very good chemical and light resistance. However, they are easily charged statically and are difficult to color. The fiber group of chlorofibers has little market significance. The main uses are home textiles , underwear and wigs .
