Method of manufacturing a cellulose-regenerated-molded body, wherein the method comprises supplying a starting material which is manufactured by a lyocell-method and which comprises cellulose, which is manufactured by solving a cellulose source in a solvent for manufacturing a spinning mass, by extruding the spinning mass and by subsequently precipitating in a spinning bath, solving the starting material which comprises cellulose, in a solvent for manufacturing a spinning mass, and extruding, and subsequently precipitating the spinning mass in a spinning bath, wherein thereby the molded body is obtained.

A flame-resistant fabric containing staple yarns which contain non-FR cellulosic fibers, modacrylic fibers, and non-flammable fibers intimately blended together. At least a portion of the non-flammable fibers comprise an energy absorbing additive to form energy absorbing fibers. The fabric comprises less than 14 wt. % of energy absorbing fibers and the fabric has an arc resistance according to ASTM F1959/F1959M-14e1 of at least 1.33 calories per square centimeter per ounce per square yard of fabric.

Disclosed is a method for the manufacture of fibrous yarn including the steps, where an aqueous suspension including fibers and at least one rheology modifier is provided, followed by directing the suspension through at least one nozzle, to form at least one yarn, and then dewatering the yarn.

Flame resistant fabrics that provide protection against molten metal splash but that have improved comfort at a lower cost by predominantly locating the protective molten metal shedding fibers on the front face of the fabric. Concentrating the protective fibers predominantly on the front face of the fabric still provides good protection against molten metal adherence and allows for more comfortable and less expensive fibers to be used on the back face of the fabric positioned next to the wearer. In this way, overall protection of the fabric is maintained while improving comfort. Embodiments of such fabrics may also achieve NFPA 70E PPE Category 2 protection, for example 8 cal/cm.sup.2 arc rating whether ATPV or EBT.

The present invention provides a process for the viable production of lyocell cellulose continuous filament yarns

The invention relates to a knit fabric. There is a need for knit fabrics made that are comfortable to wear, have good washability and high softness. Good washability implies both dimensional stability of the fabric and maintaining positive surface aspects such as hairiness, pilling and fiber splice even after several washings. This object is solved according to the invention by a knitted fabric made from at least one yarn which consists of or contains lyocell filaments. The resulting fabric has a high wearing comfort and superior mechanical qualities.

The invention relates to a denim fabric as it is used for clothes (1). The fabric is made from weft yarns (4) and warp yarns (6). At least one of the warp yarns and the weft yarns contains or consists of lyocell filaments (8). The resulting material combines high mechanical strength against wear and tear with superior softness, smoothness and luster. Furthermore, the denim according to the invention is bleachable. The denim according to the invention represents a new class of denim alongside existing cotton denims and denims with a silk component.

Antimicrobial fiber blends including a chitosan-based fiber are disclosed. The fiber blends also include other fibers such as organic fibers, synthetic fibers, or a combination thereof. Yarns and textiles formed from the fiber blends and articles formed from the textiles are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a filament having flame retardant properties, as well as methods for its preparation and its use. The filament according to the invention are Lyocell filaments.

Silk woven fabric is known and renowned for its touch. The drawback of silk, however, is its price, its poor washability, and low resistance against certain chemical treatments. It is therefore the object of the invention to provide a silk-like woven fabric which overcomes these problems. According to the invention, this problem is solved by providing a silk-like woven fabric (2) made from weft yarns (4) and warp yarns (6), wherein at least one of the weft yarns (4) and the warp yarns (6) contains or consists of lyocell filaments (8). Especially twisted lyocell filament yarns are used, the resulting material has a touch comparable to silk and physical properties that are equal to or even surpass those of silk. Moreover, the lyocell filament yarns (4, 6) may have a higher twist than silk yarns, other cellulose yarns, or synthetic yarns.
