Cellulose Acetate Tow is a cellulose-based fiber used in the production of cigarette filters, providing filtration efficiency and a smooth smoking experience.
Cellulose Acetate Tow is a cellulose-based fiber used in the production of cigarette filters, providing filtration efficiency and a smooth smoking experience.
Cellulose acetate tow fiber is derived from responsibly sourced renewable wood pulp which is highly purified white cellulose.
Cellulose acetate tow is a thermoplastic cellulose fiber with excellent absorption characteristics. Cellulose acetate tow is manufactured from wood pulp and is compostable and degradable. Celanese is one of the leading cellulose acetate tow producers in market.
Soluble in many common solvents (especially acetone and other organic solvents)
Can be modified to be soluble in alternative solvents, including water
Hydrophilic, wets easily, with good liquid transport and excellent absorption
In textile applications, it provides comfort and absorbency

The basic raw material used to manufacture cellulose acetate polymer (flake) is a plant-derived cellulose. Cellulose is the structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants such as trees, and makes up 40 to 50 percent of a tree’s composition. Most common sources of cellulose are dissolving-grade pulps derived from trees, sustainably grown and harvested in responsibly managed forests.
Cellulose acetate tow is a man-made fiber extruded from cellulose acetate flake. Unlike conventional plastics, it is not based on fossil sources. Cellulose acetate tow, like cellulose acetate polymer, is made from cellulose, the most abundant biopolymer in the world and is produced from bio-renewable non-food sources.
