Chemical Spinning
1. Wet Spinning This method of spinning is more suitable for rayon fibres. The procedure of spinning involves the extrusion of an appropriate liquid solution through the spinneret in a chemical bath that coagulates the solution into filament strands. These filament strands are then drawn out of the bath, washed and dried before being wound on the spools. The fibers are spun in the chemical bath and hence called as wet spinning

2. Dry Spinning The process involves the extrusion of the suitable liquid solution through the spinneret into an air chamber. The air reacts with the extruded streams causing them to solidify twisted and/or processed further and then wound onto spools. This method of spinning is used in manufacturing of acetate yarns

3. Melt Spinning Melt spinning uses the heat to melt the polymer to a viscosity suitable for the extrusion through the spinneret. As the name indicates the chips of fibers are melted and extruded through the spinneret to obtain the fibers. It is used for the polymers that are not decomposed or degraded by temperatures necessary for extrusion. Polymer chips obtained from previously reacted chemical combinations are melted and then pumped through a spinneret in an air chamber. The extruded stream cool and solidify into continuous filaments and are then drawn out of the chamber twisted and/or processed further and subsequently wound onto spools. This method of spinning is suitable in manufacturing the polyester yarns.
