USA: Celanese Acetate And Sapona Develop Celanna Yarns for Socks

Sapona Manufacturing Company, Inc and Celanese Acetate have announced the joint creation of new Celanna brand yarns that will be available globally.

Celanna is a combination of cellulose acetate that is air-entangled yarn with various other fibers, resulting in enhanced physical properties and fashion design features. Within the Celanna brand, according to Sapona, consumers will initially enjoy fabric blends of Celanese acetate and nylon fibers.

These synergistic blends create aesthetically pleasing knit and woven fabrics that meet consumers\' demanding requirements. Garments made from Celanna blends offer comfort and performance, feel smooth against the skin, have a luxurious, flattering drape and a soft, fluid hand. Celanna is breathable and moves moisture well. The addition of nylon to the mix yields a strong, extensible fiber that is easy to process. For extra stretch, Celanna blends are also offered as air-covered yarns with spandex.

Easy care Celanna blends open new markets for acetate, such as seamless bodywear, because they are washable in some constructions. Other end use markets for Celanna knits and wovens include softly tailored women\'s and men\'s sportswear, dresses, men\'s contemporary shirts, sweater knits for men and women and upholstery.
