Viscose speciality fibres – bio-based fibres for filtration

Viscose fibres consist of cellulose and have the same advantageous health, security and environmental properties as natural cellulose fibres. However, viscose fibres are manufactured from natural wood pulp in a chemical process, in which natural variations of the raw material are levelled out. This article demonstrates that viscose speciality fibres are tailor-made cellulosic fibres for filter media manufacture and looks at potential future applications.
