Celanese Corporation is a Fortune 500 global technology and specialty materials company with its headquarters in Dallas, Texas, United States.
An oil or emulsion finish applied to fibers to prevent damage during textile processing or to knitting yarns to make them more pliable.
Industry:Textiles
Emission of light not caused by incandescence but rather by physiological processes, chemical action, friction or electrical action.
Industry:Textiles
The quality of shining with reflected light. With reference to textile materials, the term is frequently associated with the adjectives bright or dull to distinguish between varieties of manufactured fibers.
Industry:Textiles
The finishing of yarn or fabric by means of heat, pressure, steam, friction, calendering, etc., to produce luster.
Industry:Textiles
A manufacturing cellulose fiber made by direct dissolution of wood pulp in an amine oxide solvent, N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide. The clear solution is extruded into a dilute aqueous solution of amine oxide, which precipitates the cellulose in the form of filaments. The fiber is then washed before it is dried and finished.
The solvent spinning process for making lyocell fiber is considered to be environmentally friendly because the non-toxic spinning solvent is recovered, purified, and recycled as an integral part of the manufacturing process. No chemical intermediates are formed, the minimal waste in not hazardous, and energy consumption is low. Wood pulp is a renewable resource, and the fiber is biodegradable.
Industry:Textiles
A repeating structure in very small microfibrils of alternating crystalline and amorphous regions. Yarn properties are thought to be governed by morphology at the macrolattice scale.
Industry:Textiles
A hard-twist sewing thread, usually of 3-ply construction spun with S twists and plied with Z twist, especially made for use in sewing machines.
Industry:Textiles
The long direction within the place of the fabric, i.e., the direction in which the fabric is being produced by the machine.
Industry:Textiles
A test for evaluation of snagging performance. A fabric sample is mounted on a revolving drum in contact with a miniature mace that tracks randomly across the sample. The spikes of the mace effect the snagging. The test predicts results in actual wear.
Industry:Textiles
Polymers that decompose before melting but that form liquid crystals in solution under appropriate condition. They can be extruded from high concentration dopes to give fibers of high modulus and orientation for use in advanced composites, tire cord, ballistic protective devices, etc.
