HYDROPHILIZED CELLULOSE ACETATE TOW BAND, AND ABSORBENT MATERIAL PRODUCED USING SAME

摘要

A hydrophilized cellulose acetate tow band according to the present invention is characterized in that a hydrophilizing component having an HLB value of 16 or more is adhered onto the surface of a crimped cellulose acetate tow band, wherein the crimped cellulose acetate tow band is formed from a cellulose acetate having a substitution degree of 2.0 to 2.6 and has a total denier of 10000 to 40000 and the number of crimps of 30 to 60 crimps/inch, and wherein the amount of the hydrophilizing component to be adhered is 0.2 to 2% by weight relative to the weight of the cellulose acetate tow band. In addition to the hydrophilizing agent having an HLB value of 16 or more, a fiber oiling agent may also be adhered onto the surface of the crimped cellulose acetate tow band in an amount of 0.2 to 2% by weight relative to the weight of the cellulose acetate tow band.
