Abstract

Viscose having a sodium chloride salt point of from 3 to 12 is extruded into an aqueous non-regenerating coagulating bath containing 1 to 20 per cent by weight of acetic acid and from 5 to 30 per cent by weight of sodium sulphate, sodium acetate or a mixture of sodium sulphate and sodium acetate, the total concentration of salt and acetic acid being at least 15 per cent by weight and the so-formed continuous filaments being withdrawn from the bath and stretched. Preferably the filaments are subjected to the maximum stretch they will take without breaking, from 50 to 200 per cent. The higher the salt point or the lower the cellulose/caustic soda ratio in the viscose the greater should be the concentration of acetic acid in the bath. Thus it is preferred to use a bath containing 5 to 20 per cent acetic acid and 10 to 20 per cent sodium sulphate for a viscose of salt point 4 to 10, and a bath containing 5 to 15 per cent acetic acid and 5 to 20 per cent sodium sulphate for a viscose of salt point 4 to 6.9. Viscoses of salt point 4 to 6 are preferred. The concentration of acetic acid in the coagulating bath may be maintained by addition of fresh acid or of the calculated amount p of sulphuric acid to react with the sodium acetate formed. The cellulose/caustic soda ratio may be 1 : 1, preferably 1.05 to 1, and should not exceed 2 : 1. The cellulose xanthate filaments formed yield, after subsequent regeneration, yarn characterized by low extensibility, especially when wet, and good tenacity. In an example a viscose of cellulose/caustic soda ratio 1.05 : 1 of normal viscosity and salt point of 4.4 is spun into an aqueous bath containing 10 per cent by weight of acetic acid and 10 per cent by weight of sodium sulphate at 50 DEG C. The cellulose xanthate filaments are given the maximum stretch short of rupture, and then regenerated in a bath at 40 DEG C. containing 20 per cent by weight of sulphuric acid and 10 per cent by weight of sodium sulphate. The yarn so obtained is twisted, washed, desulphurized and bleached in the usual manner.
