Definitions

• cellulose acetate artificial silk Some qualities of cellulose acetate artificial silk are much more resistant thanothers to delustring agencies, this resistance varyin with the quality of the cellulose acetate 0 which the threads or filaments are made and also with the concentration of the cellulose acetate solutions used for spinning the same. In particular, threads or filaments made with very high quality cellulose acetates'substantially undegraded in the cellulose molecule are especially resistant to delustring agencies. Further, artificial silks spun from cellulose acetate solutions of high concentrations, e. g. containing from to or the lustre to cellulose acetate artificial silk which has become lustred.
