Vinyon Fiber, Celanese

This is a sample of vinyon fiber from the sample-set provided by Textile Fabric Consultants, Inc. Celanese is a trademarked product of the Hoechst Celanese Company. The very low birefringence of the fiber and its relatively thick cross-section results in the low first order white interference color seen here.
