Abstract

The reactive printing properties of regular viscose rayon and a new regenerated cellulosic fiber (en Vix^{\textregistered}$) which was prepared from cellulose acetate fiber was investigated in a comparative manner. From the results, it was found that en Vix exhibited better printing properties than regular viscose rayon. It showed stable final color yields, irrespective of the amount of thickener, hence reproducibility of printing of en Vix is expected to be excellent. In addition, urea requirements were less for the printings on en Vix than for the corresponding printing on viscose rayon. Therefore, en Vix is also expected to reduce the amount of the urea which causes environmental problems in dyehouse effluent.
