The effects of 4,6-Dichloro-2-Sodiooxy-1,3,5-Triazine on the Fibrillation Propensity of Lyocell Fibers

Abstract

Dichlorotriazine reactive crosslinker has been used to reduce the fibrillation of Lyocell. The fibrillation propensity and mechanism of 4, 6-dichloro-2-sodium dioxy-1, 3, 5-triazine treatment on Lyocell fibers were studied, and the mechanical properties and dyeing properties of the treated Lyocell fibers were evaluated. The results showed that the three-step reaction process can make lyocell have more uniform behavior of decreased fibrillation propensity, in which the first step is physical mixing of triazine and cellulose, the second and third steps are the stepwise reactions of cellulose with two chlorines of Dichlorotriazine under different conditions, respectively. At the end of the reaction, non-fibrillating Lyocell fibers were produced. In addition, the structure, mechanical properties and dyeing properties of the Lyocell fibers were not affected by the cross-linking chemical reaction process. In conclusion, this study provides a better uniform effect and economically reasonable route for the preparation of commercial non-fibrillating Lyocell fibers.
