Used primarily in the production of acrylic fibers for textiles and clothing due to its softness, warmth, and wool-like feel. Commonly found in carpets, blankets, and outdoor fabrics because of its durability and resistance to sunlight and weathering. Serves as a key precursor in manufacturing carbon fibers, which are essential in aerospace, automotive, and sports equipment industries for their high strength-to-weight ratio. Also utilized in membranes for filtration and separation processes, including water treatment and dialysis, thanks to its chemical resistance and porous structure.
