Viscose

Viscose, also known as viscose rayon, is a type of rayon fabric that is made from natural sources such as wood pulp. Despite being made from natural materials, viscose undergoes a significant chemical process to transform it into a wearable fiber. This process involves dissolving cellulose pulp with chemicals and then spinning it into fibers. The result is a material that combines the comfort and breathability of natural fibers with the versatility of synthetic fibers.

Properties

• Softness: Viscose fabrics are known for their softness, providing a comfortable feel against the skin.
• Drape: Excellent draping qualities make viscose a popular choice for clothing that requires a fluid, graceful fall.
• Breathability: Like other cellulosic fibers, viscose is breathable, making it comfortable to wear in warm weather.
• Absorbency: High absorbency allows viscose fabrics to take dyes well, resulting in vibrant, long-lasting colors.
• Versatility: Viscose can be blended with other fibers, both synthetic and natural, to enhance certain characteristics like strength, luster, or cost-effectiveness.
