Surface-active, can be applied either in pulp production
or in the alkalisation process
Accelerates the penetration of the pulp in steeping, facilitates
the shredding process and activates the xanthogenation process
CS2 demand is lowered and filterability is improved
Appearance: colorless liquid / Active matter (%): 85
Modifier & spinning aid
LUCRASPIN® TM 15
Smooths the formation of viscose at the spinneret
Prevents clogging of spinneret holes by encrustation
Accelerates the dehydration of the coagulated filament and
retards the xanthate decomposition thus yielding higher tenacity depending on spinning conditions
Appearance: yellow-brown liquid / Active matter (%): 100
LUCRASPIN® VM 503
Is used as a modifier in the manufacturing of viscose staple fibres
Retards the decomposition of the xanthate in the spinning bath thus allowing higher stretching
with resultant higher yarn tenacity
Interacts with the resinous and other water insoluble by-products thus improving the clarity of the viscose
and the filtration process
Becomes cationic by protonation of the amine function and adheres to the surface of the metallic spinnerets
thus assisiting spin bath additives in preventing clogging of the spinneret holes by incrustation
Appearance: yellow-brown liquid / Active matter (%): 95
Spin bath additive
LUCRASPIN® D 412
Low surface tension in spin baths to improve spinning properties for technical yarns, but also HWM fibres
Prevents hard incrustations in the bath, at spinnerets and guides
Clear soluble in various spin baths and low foaming
Appearance: clear brown liquid / Active matter (%): 100
LUCRASPIN® VD 307
Highly effective spin bath additive for the production of standard viscose staple fibres and textile filaments
Low surface tension in spin baths to improve the spinning properties
Prevents hard incrustations in the bath, at the spinnerets and guides
Disperses sulfur-based precipitations
Clear soluble in various spin baths and low foaming
Appearance: clear brown liquid / Active matter (%): 100
Filament yarn
LUCRASPIN® AFS 788
Designed particularly for production of yarn for weaving or beaming
Size compatible
Low friction values sufficient for fine DPF yarns
High effectivity with low OPU level
Appearance: yellow liquid / Active matter (%): 93
LUCRASPIN® IT 121
A spin finish developed for use as lubricant on viscose tyre cord
Offers a low fibre/metal and low fibre/fibre friction to the yarn
Reduces the loss of tenacity during twisting
Improves the rubber adhesion of the cord
Appearance: yellow liquid / Active matter (%): 90
Staple fibre (yarn)
LUCRASPIN® H 145
Effective lubricant with low dynamic fibre/metal friction
Optimized for ring-spinning
Appearance: white solid / Active matter (%): 100
LUCRASPIN® ASA 65
Highly effective antistat to suppress electrostatic build up
Thermostable due to high molecular weight
Appearance: yellow viscous liquid / Active matter (%): 87
LUCRASPIN® V 455
Provides an extremely soft hand to the fibres
Improves the drawing properties and leads to more uniform yarns
Appearance: beige wax / Active matter (%): 75
Staple fibre (nonwoven)
