Extract

Cellulosics have a very balanced set of general features, with its unique specific control of moisture resulting in widely accepted physiological benefits and wearing comfort. This gives interesting future prospects for the man-made cellulosics Viscose, Modal and Lyocell by Lenzing AG. The fibres produced cover a wide range of nowadays possibilities from the viscose and Lyocell process, covering textile, non woven, technical or medical application. For a brief introduction into the different types some of the main properties are given in table 1 compared with other fibres.
