Effect of Glycols and Glymes on Shredding Efficiency of Sodium Cellulose Crumbs and Viscose Rayon Fibre Properties

Abstract

For uniform and better pulp quality, surface active agents are used in the
manufacturing process of viscose rayon. In the present work it has been observed
that high molecular weight glycols and glymes improve the shredding
efficiency of sodium cellulose, decreases the bulk density and reduces the
quantity of knots, thereby improving the quality of viscose and fibre properties
of viscose rayon.
