Document Summary

(plant) cellulosic: rayon, lyocell, and acetate: monomer is glucose. (animal) protein: azlon: monomer is amino acid. Serviceability overview: poor-moderate durability, excellent comfort, poor-moderate appearance retention. Production: wet spun: purified cellulose is chemically converted to a viscous solution, forced through spinnerets into a bath, and returned to solid. 100% cellulose filaments: filament rayon yarns range from 80-980 filaments per yarn and vary in yarn size from 40-5,000 denier. Physical structure: naturally bright; can be solution dyed. Hwm rayon: rounder cross section and better performance. Hwm: stronger; adequate breaking elongation: comfort: Good heat and static conductor (no static: appearance retention. Hwm: less wrinkling, accepts durable press and dimensional stability finishes, can be mercerized: care: Regular: limited washability, wrinkling, shrinking; dry clean. Hwm: greater washability, less wrinkling, shrinkage can be controlled: sustainability: Uses of fibers: apparel, interiors, technical: medical, nonwovens, disposables. Serviceability overview: moderate durability, excellent comfort, moderate appearance retention. Production: wet spun with solvent recycled.
