Brief description of Viscose staple manufacturing process

Question

Accepted Answer

Viscose staple manufacturing process involves dissolving cellulose in a chemical solution, extruding it into filaments, and then cutting them into staple fibers.

Viscose staple is made from cellulose, which is derived from wood pulp or cotton linters.
The cellulose is dissolved in a chemical solution, usually a mixture of sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide, to form a viscous liquid called viscose.
The viscose is then extruded through spinnerets, which are small holes, to form filaments.
The filaments are solidified by passing them through a coagulating bath, usually containing sulfuric acid.
After solidification, the filaments are washed, bleached, and dried.
Finally, the dried filaments are cut into short lengths to form staple fibers, which can be used to make various textile products.
