IR Applications Within the 12 Categories of Technical Textiles

Viscose is a fiber that is widely misunderstood among the general public as to whether it’s a natural or synthetic fiber and whether it’s good or bad for the environment. This is because viscose has a rather complex sourcing and manufacturing history and is typically regarded as both natural and synthetic within the industry, sometimes designated as semi-synthetic. Initially created with an extremely toxic process, viscose has evolved to include sustainable options. This article will look at our partner, the world leaders in specialty sustainable viscose, Kelheim Fibres, their sourcing and manufacturing along with the functionalization of viscose with CELLIANT to create our materials innovation, CELLIANT Viscose. But first, a quick look at viscose more generally.
There is such a vast difference in the processes that create usable cellulose fibers, that a very useful term, natural viscose fibers (or sustainable viscose fibers), has come to mean viscose fibers that are created in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way. Importantly, this term to be used correctly, must apply to all aspects of the viscose fiber production— from sourcing the cellulose through to the methods used to process the cellulose and extrude it into fibers. It is equally important when sourcing an eco-friendly viscose to do your due diligence on your manufacturing partner to ensure that their claims for natural and sustainable practice can be verified; for example, Kelheim Fibres.
CELLIANT Viscose provides all the benefits of being a viscose fiber plus the functional and physiological benefits of infrared technology. The functional properties of CELLIANT Viscose include:
