I would like to know what is the translation for "acetate tow" in Spanish. I know that it is a kind of acetate, but I couldn't find an equivalent term in Spanish. The context is the following:demand for imported acetate tow remains strong.

Thans in advance.

filamento o fibra de acetato

El contexto me resulta insufiente dado que el término aparece vinculado a diferentes contextos.

A tow is an untwisted bundle of continuous filaments. It often refers to flax, hemp or jute in the textile industry, and to man-made fibers, particularly carbon fibers (also called graphite), in the composites industry. Flax tows are often used as upholstery stuffing, and tows in general are frequently cut up to produce staple fibers

en la definición anterior y en diferentes momentos lo encuentro asociado al sector textil, y también me aparece en la producción de cigarrillos:

The use of acetate tow in cigarette filters opens up a new business area.

Espero que te resulte.
