METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING ALVEOLATE CELLULOSED PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention discloses a method for manufacturing alveolate cellulose products (sponges, sponge-cloths...), from a cellulose raw material, which comprises: dissolving at least partially the said cellulose raw material in an intrinsic solvent; incorporating, under agitation, into the resulting mixture an effective amount of at least one pore forming agent; the said pore forming agent(s), compatible with the cellulose mixture, being suitable for generating, when their action develops, a macro- and a microporosity; gelling the consistent homogeneous mass thus obtained; treating the said gelled mass under conditions where the dissolved cellulose precipitates and the action of the pore forming agent(s) present develops. The said method is an advantageous alternative to the polluting viscose method. The products obtained have properties quite similar to those of the products obtained by the said viscose method. The said new products are part of the invention.
