Record 1 2021-02-25

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.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Industries du textile
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
DEF

Fibres polynosiques : Ces fibres cellulosiques fabriquées par un procédé viscose modifié ont une structure interne homogène et microfibrillaire se rapprochant de la structure du coton. Elles se caractérisent par les propriétés suivantes : 1. grandeur moléculaire élevée; 2. une surface extérieure lisse; 3. un gonflement faible dans l'eau [...].

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.

English

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

Cellulosic fiber: A fiber composed of, or derived from, cellulose. Examples are cotton (cellulose), rayon (regenerated cellulose), acetate (cellulose acetate), and triacetate (cellulose triacetate).

CONT

jute - A natural cellulosic fiber made from certain plants of the linden family which grow in warm climates ... .

CONT

Cupro : a cellulosic fiber obtained by the cuprammonium process.... Modal : type of cellulosic fiber having improved strength and modulus when wet.... Polynosic : a type of cellulosic fiber characterized by a high wet modulus of elasticity, which when sanded or raised has the soft, peachskin surface found in washed silks. Tencel : Courtaulds’ brand name for a recently developed cellulosic fiber, generically known as lyocell. It is stronger than viscose cellulosic fiber and is characterized by softness and drape.

CONT

Cellulose fiber ... we have improved the physical properties of the cellulose fibers.

CONT

Starch is used on natural cellulosic fiber fabrics (cotton, linen) ... .

French

Domaine(s)

DEF

Fibre composée ou dérivée de : la cellulose, la viscose (cellulose régénérée), l'acétate de cellulose ou du triacétate de cellulose.

CONT

Fibranne : Fibre cellulosique [...] Cupro : C'est une fibre de cellulose régénérée [...]. Tencel : Fibre cellulosique brillante, soyeuse, absorbant l'humidité, facile à teindre, biodégradable [...] écologique, cette fibre cellulosique est obtenue à partir de pâte de bois [...] Sert à la fabrication d'une grande diversité d'étoffes telles le denim, le chambray, armurés, toiles, popelines, jerseys, velours crêpés. [...] Modal : Le modal est une fibre de cellulose régénérée [...]. Polynosique : Fibre de cellulose régénérée [...] Elle a une résistance et une élasticité supérieures à celles du coton. Utilisée pour l'habillement, l'ameublement.
