Jutecell is a new type of cellulose fiber developed by special technical treatment of jute and kenaf as raw materials, which overcomes the disadvantages of natural hemp fibers, as hard, thick, short and itchy to skin and keeps the original characteristics of natural hemp fibers, as hygroscopic, breathable, bacteriostatic and mildew-proof, etc.
Performance of Jutecell
1.Appearance
There are many irregular and continuously distributed streaks of different shades in the longitudinal side. The cross section is approximate to the irregular C shape. The edge has deep irregular concave and convex. Fabrics made of this kind of fibers with such unique cross section shape have good air permeability and moisture absorption and perspiration performance.
2.Strength property
The fracture strength in dry state is similar to that of viscose fiber. The fracture strength in wet state is 1.4 times of that of viscose fiber. The elongation at break in dry and wet state both is smaller than that of viscose fiber. The initial size in dry and wet state both is higher than that of viscose fiber, which is 1.1~1.2 times of that of viscose fiber. That means under the condition of small deformation, the resistance to deformation of Jutecell is better than that of viscose fiber and the shape stability of its finished product is better than that of viscose fiber.
3.Moisture regain
Its moisture regain is 12.86%, which is close to viscose fiber. It shows that Jutecell has good hygroscopicity and small electrostatic effect, which is helpful to textile processing. And the finished products have good wearability.
4.Friction performance
Both static and dynamic friction coefficient are greater than that of viscose fiber. That means its cohesive force is better than viscose fiber. But the smoothness is poorer than viscose fiber. In the spinning process, we should pay attention to selecting yarn guides of different materials to improve the friction performance of Jutecell.
5.Crimp properties
The crimp percentage, crimp elasticity and residual crimp percentage are all smaller than that of viscose fiber, which means that the crimp resistant and the crimp recovery capability both are poorer than that of viscose fiber.
6.Infrared absorption spectrum
The infrared absorption spectrum is basically similar to that of viscose fiber. It has spectrum band with typical cellulose fiber characteristics.
The Features of Jutecell
1.Raw material is renewable natural hemp. Green and environmentally-friendly.
2.Has hollow section shape similar to raw hemp fiber.
3.Has natural bacteriostatic properties. Anti-bacterial and mildew-proof.
4.Skin-friendly. Excellent moisture absorption and air permeability. Good drainage performance.
5.Plump and round fabric texture. Dry and smooth hand feeling. Bright and brilliant luster. Healthy and fashionable.
Application of Jutecell
1.Apparel textile: Underwear, costumes, high-grade business suit fabric.
2.Household textile: Decorative cloth, as bed sheet, bedspread, sofa cover, curtain, tablecloth, antependium, napkin and wall cloth, etc.
3.Medical nonwovens: Hospital hygiene products, special diaper for patients with urinary incontinence and briefs, etc. Bandages, tissues and wound dressing materials, etc.
4.Medical textile: Hospital gown, protective clothing, doctor pullover, surgical cap, surgical mask, surgical towel, surgical gown, bed sheet and pillow, etc.
