Note the stated intention to supply pre-blends of viscose and Tencel from Mobile. Was this related to worries over fibrillation or a desire to offer less expensive bales of unique product to the market?
Courtaulds
Engineering Ltd, Coventry, UK, will be the main engineering contractor for the
new £47m Courtaulds Fibers Inc., solvent-spun cellulosic fibre plant in
Alabama, USA. The facility will be the first full-scale production unit for
Tencel fibre; it is being built adjacent to a rayon manufacturing plant. CEL will also provide project management services. By summer 1992 the new plant
will have 18,000tpy production capacity, and will supply unblended and
pre-blended with rayon Tencel products to the US textiles and nonwoven markets.
