PROPERTIES OF CELLU-FLOCK
- PURITY : Cellu-flock, Cellulose Fiber is prepared from high purity pulp. They contain extremely little amount of impurities and almost no ash is left after its combustion.
- ABSORBING PROPERTY : Cellu-flock is negatively charged in water. It can absorb metallic and cationic components from solutions containing such an ionic materials.
- ELECTRIC PROPERTIES : Cellu-flock exhibit very superior electric resistance property even at high humidity conditions as it has less water absorption tendency.
- THERMAL PROPERTIES : Cellu-flock has very good thermal resistance but starts changing color at 150 deg. centigrade.
- HYGROSCOPICITY : Cellu-flock has certain limitation in moisture absorption. It has very low tendency to absorb moisture. At 65% relatives humidity and 20 degree centigrade it can absorb moisture maximum to 8% of its weight even after prolonged storage for several months at this condition.
- AFFINITY FOR DYES AND PIGMENTS : Cellu-flock can be dyed homogeneously in the same manner as the dying of wood pulp, cotton etc. and moreover their affinities for pigments are also strong.
- SOLUBILITY : Cellu-flock is insoluble in water and most of the solvents except some special solvents for Cellulose like cuprammoniom.
- TOXICITY : Cellu-flock is non-toxic in nature and inhalation in small amount is not likely to cause any toxicity.
- FLAMMABILITY : Cellu-flock should be kept away from open flames as it burns very fast.
