  • Publication number: 20040053025
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of cellulosic flat films whereby a solution of cellulose is extruded in an aqueous tertiary amine oxide by means of an extrusion die which has an extrusion gap whereby the solution is moulded in the shape of a film and the extruded solution is led via an air gap to a precipitation bath. The process in accordance with the invention is characterised in that an extrusion die is used which has an extrusion gap b of 220 &mgr;m≦b≦280 &mgr;m. Moreover, the invention relates to flat films, obtainable by the amine oxide process with a thickness d of less than 20 &mgr;m, a width B of more than 30 cm, and a factor f of 65 or less, whereby f is defined as f=d*(MD/TD), d is used in &mgr;m and whereby MD stands for the tenacity of the film in the longitudinal direction (N/mm2) and TD for the tenacity of the film in the transverse direction (N/mm2).

  • Patent number: 6517758
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for the production of cellulosic moulded bodies in the form of flat or tubular films and cellulosic membranes in the form of flat or tubular films whereby a solution of cellulose in an aqueous tertiary amine oxide is extruded using an extrusion nozzle whereby the solution can as the case may be also contain additives such as stabilizing and softening agents, pore formers and so on whereby a moulded solution results which has two surfaces and the extruded moulded solution is led over a gap into a precipitation bath and drawn off from the precipitation bath. The process in accordance with the invention is characterized in that the two surfaces of the moulded solution in the gap are each exposed to at least one gaseous medium whereby the medium to which the first surface is exposed differs from the medium to which the second surface is exposed in composition, properties and/or the state of motion.
