  • Publication number: 20210087714
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fiber of the Lyocell type which has a titer of from 0.8 dtex to 3.3 dtex and is characterized by the following relationships: Höller factor F2?1, preferably ?2 Höller factor F1??0.6 Höller factor F2?6 and Höller factor F2 minus 4.5*Höller factor F1?1, preferably ?3. The fiber according to the invention displays a specific combination of properties with regard to the Höller factors, the flexibility and the abrasion resistance within a planar assembly. Hence, the fiber shows a behavior more similar to viscose and can be processed in the textile chain according to viscose standard methods.

  • Patent number: 6241927
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing lyocell-type cellulose fibers by processing a spinnable solution of cellulose in an aqueous tertiary amine oxide according to the dry/wet-spinning process, which method is characterized in that a solution having a content of between 0.05% and 0.70% by mass, based on the mass of the solution, of cellulose with a molecular weight of at least 5×105 is used for spinning. The method of the invention allows the use of a spinnerette having more than 10,000 spinning holes for the spinning operation, which holes are arranged in such a manner that neighboring spinning holes are spaced maximally 3 mm apart and that the linear density of the spinning holes it at least 20.
