Viscose Variants and Modified Types
topic
Variants include: High Wet Modulus (HWM) rayon/Modal (higher DP 350-450, lower xanthate substitution, tenacity 3.5-4.0 g/den), High Tenacity rayon (4.0-5.0 g/den for tire cords, industrial applications), Micro Modal (fine denier 0.7-0.9 dtex for luxury textiles), Flame Retardant viscose (phosphorus/nitrogen compounds), and Antimicrobial viscose (silver, chitosan modifications).
Role
Modified viscose types address specific performance requirements, expanding applications from commodity textiles to technical and medical uses.
