Dry spinning is a polymer fiber production process where a dissolved, non-melting polymer solution (dope) is extruded through a spinneret into a warm chamber, where volatile solvent evaporation solidifies the filaments
. It is primarily used for acetate, acrylic, and spandex, creating characteristic "dogbone" shaped fibers that improve comfort.
Key Aspects of the Dry Spinning Process:
Process Steps: A polymer is dissolved in a volatile solvent, filtered, and extruded through a spinneret. A hot gas stream (usually air or inert gas) evaporates the solvent, solidifying the fibers, which are then wound onto bobbins.
Fiber Characteristics: The rapid surface-inward evaporation often creates a "skin-core" structure, leading to a "dogbone" or dumbbell-shaped cross-section.
Applications: This method is ideal for polymers that degrade upon heating, such as Cellulose Acetate, Triacetate, Acrylic, Modacrylic, Spandex (Polyurethane), and PVC.
Advantages: It is generally faster than wet spinning, requires no coagulation bath, and allows for easier solvent recovery.
Key Process Variables:
Solvent Volatility: The solvent must evaporate quickly.
Heat & Mass Transfer: Crucial for controlling the solidification rate and fiber structure.
