Lyocell in Technical and Industrial Applications
topic
Technical applications: medical textiles (wound dressings, surgical textiles—biocompatibility, absorbency), hygiene nonwovens (wipes, feminine care), filtration media (air, liquid filters—controlled porosity), paper reinforcement, composite reinforcement (replacing glass in automotive, construction), and conductive textiles (carbon coating for EMI shielding, antistatic applications).
Role
High wet strength, dimensional stability, and controllable fibrillation enable lyocell in demanding technical applications where viscose fails, expanding beyond traditional textile markets.
