N-Methylmorpholine-N-Oxide (NMMO) – a bulk solvent for cellulose in industrial fiber making processes, has high cellulose dissolving capacity and lesser toxicity than CS2 which finds widespread use in the textile industry. In the NMMO process, more than 99% of the solvent is recycled within the process making the fabric eco-friendly. The small quantities released via waste water are readily degraded in the biological waste water treatment plants. As several scientific studies report, it is not mutagenic. Moreover, Amine Oxides find a wide application as active substances of personal hygiene (in hair conditioner, face wash, waxes and polishes), which normally undergo immense toxicological examination, therefore its non-toxicity can be assumed for all practical purposes.
