Information About

Rayon




Rayon is a Synthetic filament fiber. Rayon is created by taking Wood Pulp and turning it into Liquid form. Then that liquid solution is pushed through holes in a device called a Spinneret . As the liquid comes into contact with the air it solidifies into rayon, a fiber. Three common hole shapes in the spinarette determine the quality of the yarn: semi-dull, dull, or bright.

Rayon was originally named ''artificial Silk '' or ''wood silk''. The name ''rayon'' was created in 1924 . Unlike Nylon , rayon absorbs Water , making it more comfortable to wear as a clothing Textile .


As well as viscose rayon, there are other types such as anitrocellulose rayon, developed in 1891.
