Why acrylics not spun from the melt ?

Open in App

Solution

Acrylics are so named because they are made from polymer polyacrylonitrile. They are not spun from the melt because these polymers decompose without melting. Thus, they are dissolved in a specific solvent and the solution is forced through spinnerets to obtain filaments that are spun into yarns.
