<p>High-tenacity rayon filaments and staple fibers having an exceptionally high number of crimps per inch are produced by spinning a viscose spinning solution into a coagulating-type spin bath to obtain coagulated, incompletely regenerated viscose filaments, the coagulated viscose filaments withdrawn from the spin bath being stretched from about 120 to 280 percent in length while the filaments are still substantially soluble in dilute alkali solution, the filaments being treated with a hot acid bath while being stretched. The tension of the filaments is then relaxed about 20-60 percent while the filaments are less than 50 percent regenerated, and the thus relaxed partially regenerated filaments are treated with an alkaline solution having a pH of from about 7.5 to 10. Regeneration of the filaments, or of staple fibers prepared therefrom, is then completed without additional stretching, followed by conventional desulfurization and washing of the highly crimped filament or staple fiber product.</p> |
