Definition of acetate

acetatenoun

axetat

/ˈæsɪteɪt//ˈæsɪteɪt/

The term "acetate" derives from the chemical compound acetic acid, which is commonly found in vinegar. The process of synthesizing acetate involves the esterification of cellulose, a material present in plant cell walls, with acetic acid. In its early days, acetate was known as cellulose acetate or triacetate, as it was first created by treating cellulose with excess acetic anhydride. This resulted in a compound with the formula C8H14O6, where eight carbon atoms, sixteen hydrogen atoms, and six oxygen atoms were present. This led to the development of cellulose acetate as a synthetic textile fiber in the early 20th century, replacing traditional materials like silk and wool. Today, acetate is produced using chemical reactions that create a glossier, smoother, and more wrinkle-resistant material compared to traditional cellulose. Acetate is commonly used in a variety of products, including clothing, eyewear, and accessories, as well as in coatings and adhesives due to its exceptional surface qualities, durability, and tensile strength.
