an organic liquid used to make rayon, obtained from cellulose of wood or cotton fibers. It is treated with sodium hydroxide and then mixed with carbon disulphide forming cellulose xanthate. This is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide resulting in viscose to be extruded through a slit to make cellophane, or through a spinneret to make viscose rayon.
Refers to Rayon that is some times used as a Braider Yarn.
Viscose is the oldest man-made fiber. It adds strength and luster to cotton and silk blends. Its distinctive sheen in used to highlight patterns, particularly in damask.
A manufactured rayon made of regenerated cellulose. It is soft, absorbent and drapes well.
a cellulose ester obtained by treating cellulose with caustic soda
a rayon fabric made from viscose (cellulose xanthate) fibers
Term used to descried rayons made using the viscose process, this process helps rayons become more accessible to different chemicals in the finishing process.
A viscous orange-colored liquid obtained by treating cellulose with caustic alkali solution, then with carbon disulfide.
The most common type of rayon. It is produced in much greater quantity than cuprammonium rayon, the other commercial type.
a soft fabric made of fibres derived from regenerated cellulose. It is a variety of rayon.
the generic name for a type of cellulosic fibre obtained by the viscose process.
The European term for rayon.
A type of rayon with a soft and silky feel made from a cellulose solution.
Man made natural polymer regenerated cellulose fibre.
One of the three processes for making rayon. Viscose rayon has been produced since 1911 and holds first place in rayon production. It is made by converting wood pulp or waste cotton into a soluble compound which is then extruded into filaments.
Viscose is a viscous organic liquid used to make rayon and cellophane. Cellulose from wood or cotton fibres is treated with sodium hydroxide, then mixed with carbon disulfide to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded into an acid bath either through a slit to make cellophane, or through a spinneret to make viscose rayon (sometimes simply called viscose).
