English

Subject field(s)
  • Textile Industries
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

polynosic fiber: A high-wet-modulus rayon staple having a microfibrillar structure of fibers. The molecular chain length of the cellulose forming the fiber is about twice as long as in conventional rayon.

CONT

Polynosic fiber has higher tenacity, loop tenacity, and abrasion resistance than conventional rayon fiber. It has less tendency to swell and better alkali resistance, so it can be mercerized. Textile materials made from polynosic fiber have good dimensional stability due to its high modulus.

Record 2 2004-12-16

English

Subject field(s)
  • Synthetic Fabrics
DEF

[A] regenerated cellulose fibre characterized by a high initial wet modulus of elasticity and a relatively low degree of swelling in sodium hydroxide solution.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Fibre de cellulose régénérée dans des conditions particulières, ce qui la conduit à avoir des propriétés très proches et parfois même supérieures à celles des textiles naturels.

OBS

[La fibre polynosique] a une résistance et une élasticité supérieures à celles du coton. [Elle est] utilisée pour l'habillement, l'ameublement. Quelques marques : Vincel, Cordenka, Volenka, Modal, Zantrel, Meryl.
