PRODUCTION OF NOVEL CONJUGATE YARN CONTAINING ACETATE FIBER

摘要

PURPOSE:To provide a novel conjugate yarn, containing acetate fiber and having soft and favorabe hand and drape while maintaining essential characteristics of the acetate fiber. CONSTITUTION:Conjugate yarn composed of acetate fiber and other fibers is treated with an alkaline compound to saponify the surface of the contained acetate fiber. The resultant yarn is then treated with a cellulolytic enzyme or an etching agent to decompose or remove a part or all of the saponified part.
