How is triacetate different from acetate?
Like acetate, triacetate is a cellulosic fiber, which means it has wood pulp as one of its major constituents. Essentially, triacetate fibers contain less cellulose than acetate fibers. The result is that triacetate garments are washable, wrinkle resistant, and have excellent pleat retention. Triacetate is used in dresses, skirts, sportswear, and garments where pleat retention is important.
