ABSTRACT

Rayon is produced by the regeneration of cellulose through the cup ammonium process. The simple paper, Whitman filter paper or filter paper contains significant amounts of cellulose and it can be used to produce rayon fiber, specifically, cup ammonium rayon fiber. This has application in textile and pharma packaging industries. The Rayons were characterized by detecting as its melting point, solubility, density, moisture content, microscopic, element detection and burning test. The results are encouraging, and future work will include the application and study of packaging material for pharmaceuticals.
