Fibres of high fluid-holding capacity, a method for their preparation and articles made therefrom

摘要

Alloy fibres having high fluid-holding capacity, and a method for making the same, the alloy fibres being comprised of a matrix of regenerated cellulose having 5 to 25 weight percent of alkali metal salts of cellulose suphate being dispersed therein. The sulphate salts may be present in combination with an anionic polymer. The high fluid-holding capacity is at least 4.8 ml. per grams as measured by the Demand Absorption Test.
