Cellulose multi-filament

Cellulose fiber for using as industrial materials

This invention relates to a method of preparing cellulose solution which is homogeneous at relatively low temperature, in which a small amount of cellulose powder or polyvinylalcohol is dissolved in the liquid-state, concentrated N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide (hereinafter, referred to as 'NMMO') so as to lower the solidifying temperature of NMMO, and then, the resulting solution and cellulose powder are fed into an extruder so as to be mixed, swollen and melted in the extruder.

The present invention relates to a high tenacity, high modulus and low shrinkage lyocell multifilament yarn suitable for use in tire cords and MRG (mechanical rubber goods). The lyocell multifilament yarn is a cellulose-based fiber for industrial applications, which is produced by dissolving pulp having a degree of polymerization (DP) of 700-2,000 and preferably 800-1,400, and a &#x3b1;-cellulose content of more than 90% and preferably more than 92%, in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) hydrate, at a pulp concentration of 5-15% by weight and preferably 8-13% by weight. The lyocell monofilament according to the present invention is characterized by the following stress-strain profile: (1) the lyocell monofilament analyzed after drying is elongated by less than 3.0% and has an initial modulus of 150-400 g/d, when it was subjected to an initial stress of 3.0 g/d; (2) it is elongated by 3.0-7.0% when it was subjected to a stress greater than the initial stress but smaller than 6.0 g/d; and (3) it is elongated from a tensile tenacity of at least 6.0 g/d until the yarn is broken.

Lyocell multifilament

Disclosed is a lyocell multi-filament for a tire cord and a method of producing the same. The method includes i) dissolving mixed powder of cellulose and polyvinyl alcohol in a mixed solvent of N-methyl morpholine N-oxide and water to prepare a dope, ii) extruding the dope using a spinning nozzle including orifices through air gaps into a conical upper coagulation bath to solidify the dope to produce a multi-filament, iii) feeding the multi-filament through a lower coagulation bath to a washing bath, and washing the multi-filament, and iv) drying and oiling the washed multi-filament and winding the resulting multi-filament. At this time, the orifices each have a diameter (D) of 100 to 300 &#x3bc;m, a length (L) of 200 to 2400 &#x3bc;m, and a ratio of the length to the diameter (L/D) of 2 to 8, and are spaced apart from each other at intervals of 2.0 to 5.0 mm. The method provides a lyocell multi-filament having excellent physical properties useful as a tire cord, thereby producing a tire for an automobile having improved driving stability, dimensional stability, and uniformity using the tire cord.
