Lyocell Manufacturing Process: Wood Pulp to Fiber

Lyocell Manufacturing Process: From Wood Pulp to Fiber

The lyocell manufacturing process turns high-purity dissolving wood pulp into regenerated cellulose fiber through direct dissolution, dry jet-wet spinning, washing, and solvent recovery. Its main difference from conventional viscose production is chemical: cellulose dissolves in an N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) and water system…

Textile Fiber Classification: Types, Properties and Uses

Textile fiber classification divides commonly used fibers into two main groups: natural fibers and manufactured fibers. Natural fibers include plant fibers, animal hair and silk. Manufactured fibers include regenerated cellulosic fibers, other modified natural-polymer fibers and synthetic fibers. This classification…
