Product catalog summary
Storage, Handling and Processing
  • Storage: Protect Cordenka® products from heat, cold, moisture, direct sunlight, and extreme climate changes.
  • Dosing: Use special equipment for dosing Cordenka® Rayon. Contact the company for machinery assistance.
  • Processing: If moisture-sensitive, dry Cordenka® rayon for two hours at 105°C or use inline drying at higher temperatures for less than a minute. Keep processing temperatures below 200°C and exposure time under 20 minutes.
  • Compounding: For thermoplastic composites, adding coupling agents like MAHPP can improve results.

Catalog excerpts

Cordenka® Rayon -1

* -premium rayon reinforcement Cordenka® rayon chopped fibers are made of man-made cellulose multifilament yarn for technical applications. The fiber diameter is in the range of 12-15 pm, with a linear density of 1.85 dtex. Besides chopped fibers we also offer Cordenka® rayon in form of multifilament yarn and woven fabrics. • Storage: Protect CORDENKA® products against heat, cold, moisture, direct solar radiation and extreme climatic fluctuations. • Dosing: For dosing of Cordenka® Rayon we recommend the use of special equipment. If you need assistance for selecting appropriate machinery, please contact us. • Processing: If your process is sensitive to moisture, we recommend drying of Cordenka® rayon for two hours at 105 °C. Alternatively, inline drying at higher temperatures (less than a minute) can be applied. During processing, the temperature should be kept below 200 °C and the exposure time at this temperature should not exceed 20 minutes. • Reinforcement and light weight construction for: ♦ Completely biobased and biodegradable composites • Vehicle parts, shields, housing for machinery • Acoustic devices, sports equipment • Cordenka® rayon is composed of cellulose. It is both bio-based and biodegradable. • Cordenka® yarn is certified as follows: • Superior recycling suitability: During processing, Cordenka® rayon maintains an excellent level of fiber lengths, resulting in a consistently high level of mechanical properties in recycled thermoplastics. • For the compounding of thermoplastic composites it might be useful to add coupling agents. Excellent results in polypropylene can be achieved with MAHPP. • Specified constant properties Improvement of composite material's ♦ Impact resistance, also at low temperatures
