What Are The Common Viscose Fibers

Viscose fiber is a synthetic fiber, also known as rayon, recycled fiber. Viscose fiber refers to the use of cellulose as raw materials, the use of chemical processing methods made of artificial fiber.

The production method is to dissolve cellulose raw materials after alkaline treatment, and then add sulfuric acid, chlorochromic acid and other chemicals, so that the solution is thick, after spinning and extrusion, forming filaments, after processing and then finalize.

Advantages of viscose fibers:

Viscose fiber not only has the natural characteristics of cellulose, but also has the excellent performance of chemical fiber, with high strength, good elasticity, wear resistance, high softness, good moisture absorption, easy dyeing, easy care and so on.

An important application of viscose fibers are in the manufacture of textiles, fiber fabrics, such as shirts, towels, socks, pants, etc. Viscose fiber's flexibility and hygroscopic properties make it excellent in the manufacture of soft fabrics.

Disadvantages of viscose fibers:

However, compared with other synthetic fibers, the heat resistance and wear resistance of viscose fibers are not as good as other synthetic fibers, and it is easy to produce static electricity, so it is necessary to pay attention to the treatment in wearing and maintenance.

Therefore, viscose fiber is suitable for blending, such as T-shirts, viscose and polyester blending, the fabric is drier, the wear resistance is improved, and the overall performance will be better.
