What does AZLON mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A manufactured textile fibre made from a natural protein, such as casein or soy protein, rather than from cellulose or petroleum.
Azlon is the generic name given to a family of fibres spun from natural proteins like casein, soy or peanut protein, rather than from cotton, wool or synthetic petrochemicals. Manufacturers developed azlon fibres in the twentieth century as an alternative way to turn farm and dairy byproducts into usable textile material. The fibre never became as common as cotton or nylon, and today it appears mainly in textile trade names and technical fibre classifications.
