Chlorofiber

Chlorofiber, any synthetic fiber made from the polymerization of a chlorinated monomer (especially from forms of polyvinyl chloride) is called Chlorofiber. Chlorofibers are made from PVC which is derived from salt and petrochemicals. The term refers to all textile fibers from PVC. They do not support combustion and emit no droplets during combustion but emit toxic gases (HCl and CO) when burnt. They dry quickly, are waterproof, crease-resistant and have a high coefficient of thermal insulation, electric and acoustic. 

Commercialized in 1949 by the Society Rhovyl, they are mainly used in the manufacture of clothing or linen. Chlorofibers are flammable and emit no droplets during combustion but emit toxic gases. They dry quickly, waterproof, crease-resistant and have a high co-efficient of thermal, electric and acoustic. Chlorofiber came to be noticed because of its special properties. With high performance products and fiber of innovative characteristics, it became an established material. Rhovyl is the leading manufacturer of synthetic PVC based fibers.
