Investment Opportunityin Production of Cellulose (Cellulosic) Fibers. High Demand in the Textile andIndustrial Segment.
Cellulosefibers are fibers made with ethers or esters of cellulose, which may beobtained from the bark, wood or leaves of plants, or from other plant-basedmaterial. Additionally to cellulose, the fibers can also contain hemicelluloseand lignin, with different percentages of those components altering themechanical properties of the fibers. The most applications of cellulose fibersare within the textile industry, as chemicalfilters, and as fiber-reinforcement composites, thanks to their similarproperties to engineered fibers, being an alternative choice for bio compositesand polymer composites.
Cellulosicfiber Cellulose is that the main fiber that plants are manufactured from. Allplants contain cellulose. Fibers that contain cellulose include the foremostfamiliar clothing fibers: cotton, line, rayon. ChemicalStructure of Cellulose.
Thecellulose fibers are those made with ether or esters of cellulose obtained fromplant-based materials. Cellulose fibers are manufactured from plants that areprocessed into pulp and are extruded into fibers in similar ways like polyesterand nylon. The cellulose fibers are often natural like cotton, jute orsynthetic such as viscose, modal, and others. Cellulose fibers areenvironment-friendly, cost-effective, versatile, and biodegradablenaturally. Besides, these fibers exhibit excellent moisture management andabsorbency characteristics useful within the hygiene industry. Mainapplications of the cellulosic fibers include apparels, chemical filters, andfiber reinforced composites, among others.
