SaXcell is a regenerated Man Made Cellulose Fiber made from used cotton textiles. The SaXcell fibers are perfectly fit for making high quality new textiles such as garments or household textiles.
In SaXcell’s eco-friendly recycling process the used cotton textiles is dissolved in a closed loop system without any potentially harmful chemicals. Water and chemicals used are recycled during the process.
The pulp that results from the SaXcell process is made into fibers by lyocell wet spinning. SaXcell has a strategic collaboration with Birla Cellulose for the wetspinning process. The SaXcell fibers can be used in
all existing textile production equipment.
SaXcell production starts with sorting used cotton textile waste into an as pure as possible, well-defined waste stream.
SaXcell production starts with sorting used cotton textile waste into an as pure as possible, well-defined waste stream.
Coloring waste stream is shredded and non-textile components like zippers and buttons are removed. The result is a dry mixture of textile fibers with different fiber lengths.
The dry mixture is chemically decoloured and the degree of polymerisation (dp) is adjusted. All contamination is removed. The result is SaXcell pulp. (Here you can use the picture with the hand with pulp)
The pulp is dissolved in the lyocell wetspinning process, resulting in high quality regenerated cellulose fibers.
The fibers can be cut to specified lengths, spun into yarns and woven or knitted into fabrics. Colouring can take place at of the fiber,
yarn or fabric.
