Rayon fabric, all the advantages and disadvantages

Let's go into the modern store "Fabrics" - eyesThey dispersed, the spirit caught in delight from what they saw. So how do you figure out this multicolored abundance of different in composition tissues? The farther away, the harder it becomes to distinguish between artificial and natural fibers to the touch, look at the label, and there are more and more overseas words: modal, spun, tencel, polynosic, cupro, rayon.

The fabric of these fibers refers to the artificial. But for the sake of justice, it should be noted that natural materials, such as cellulose, are used for its manufacture.

Rayon - fabric, the emergence of which as early as 1664year was foreshadowed by the naturalist Hook of England. In the process of manufacturing Rayon, the natural technology of turning into thin silk threads is repeated using silkworm wool of mulberry pulp.

It is generally accepted that this term has appeared yetin 1924 in the United States, and earlier it was called artificial silk. Presumably the name comes from the English word ray - ray, as if hinting at the bright color of viscose and the end of the word on - from the last letters in the word cotton, demonstrating its similarity to cotton.

And even more recently on the labels it was writtenbamboo, showing that bamboo was used as the raw material for making this fabric. Then the US Federal Trade Commission warned that although raw material for the production of Rayon is bamboo, but nevertheless during the chemical treatment fabric no longer has anything to do with it.

When processing wood pulp is obtainedThe most natural fiber from the existing artificial - it's rayon. The fabric, which has the properties of viscose, is very suitable for people who want to wear comfortable clothes. These requirements include hygroscopicity, good air permeability, softness. An important quality of the fabric is that it is antistatic, that is, it can not store static electricity.

Thanks to this, viscose fiber clothingpleasant to the body and comfortable to wear. Well-colored viscose will always be a saturated color and luster. 95% viscose and 5% lycra with possible deviations in one direction or another - this is the common composition of knitted viscose fabric, due to which clothes do not stretch and do not deform. Such a knitted fabric is used for sewing a wide range of clothes - from light blouses and t-shirts to trousers and capri. If viscose is included in cotton, the properties of such a fabric, that is, moisture absorption, will be much higher than for pure cotton.

Disadvantage of Rayon can be considered that washingproducts from this fabric must be produced very gently with mild detergents, preferably manually. It is better not to twist them in a centrifuge, and squeeze, wrapped in a towel or not with strong hands, to dry, spread out on a flat surface. Also, when sewing clothes from the Rayon, there will be an increased drop in the edges of the fabric.

Rayon - fabric (viscose silk), made ofwood pulp. In the American marking, the word rayon will be used, while in the European labeling, the word "rayon" will be used. Therefore, after seeing such an inscription, you can be assured of the high quality and environmental friendliness of the fabric with which many world famous designers work.
