VISCOSE RAYON FIBRE
 What is viscose rayon fibre ?

Viscose is a regenerated
very fine , regular filament or
staple fibre .viscose rayon is
made by reconverting
cellulose from a soluble
xanthate from to tough fibres
by washing in acid.
 Introduction
 It is the oldest regenerated cellulose fibre.
 It is biodegradable & renewable polymer.
 Common sources wood pulp & cotton lint.
 Highly purified wood pulp consists of 90-95%
cellulose called chemical cellulose & dissolving pulp.
 The process used to make viscose either continous
or batch process.
Characteristics of Viscose Fibre
 Highly absorbent.
 Soft and comfortable.
 Easy to dye.
 Drapes well.
 Versatile.
 It does not shrink when heated.
 It is biodegradable.
 PROPERTIES OF VISCOSE

Sequence of reaction viscose process

Processing Reaction
step
Steeping C6H9O4OH + NaOH C6H9O4. Ona +H2O
Xanthation C6H9O4. Na +CS2 C6H9O4. OCSSNa + Na2CS3
Mixing C6H9O4. OCSSNa + NaOH Viscose solution
Ripening C6H9O4. OCSSNa + NaOH C6H9O4OH + CS2 + NaOH
Spinning C6H9O4. OCSSNa + H2SO4 C6H9O4OH +CS2 + Na2SO4
Factor affecting the quality of viscose
rayon

 Temperature and composition of the bath.

 Speed of Coagulation.
 Length of immersion.
 speed of spinning.
 stretch imparted to the filaments.
 USES
Blends:
Regular rayon and high wet modulus usually blend with many fibers like
polyester,acrylic,nylon,acetate,cotton,flax,wool and ramie.
With polyester , nylon and and acrylic :
Rayon contributes absorbency,comfort,and softness when blended with them.
With cotton:
It alters appearance to create soft luster.
With wool:
It will decrease the cost.
With flax and romie:
It can help produce appearnce that are typically associated with linen like
fabrics.
