Courtaulds plc
plans to build the first production plant for Tencel solvent spun cellulosic
staple fibre at its rayon manufacturing facilities near Mobile, Alabama, USA.
Startup is scheduled for summer 1992. Initial capacity will be 40m lb per year.
The process uses amine oxide as a dissolving agent and has been demonstrated
for two years at a pilot plant in Grimsby, UK. It is said to offer an
environmentally secure process. Tencel has been evaluated on nonwoven
hydroentanglement systems.
