Production of High-tenacity Viscose Fibres

Abstract

The present paper deals with research results in high-tenacity fibre production by use of short-fibred beech sulphite pulp, together with modification of technological process in production of standard rayon staple. The modification refers to the quality of viscose (lower content of NaOH and CS2, and higher content of pulp), conditions of spinning (increased spinning speed) and addition of modifiers. The research work has been carried out at the pilot plant of the Viscose Mill at Banja Luka, and optimum results have been obtained through the tests and application at one of the rayon staple production lines at the same mill.
