what IS Viscose Fabric?
The raw material of viscose yarn is beechwood. Viscose fabric is the general name of fabrics knitted from these yarns. Cellulose-based regenerated fibers are the most important and have the most.
Beechwood naturally is grown in Europe, Asia, America, Japan, and Turkey. It consists of cellulose just like cotton. There are almost no suspicious letters in the structure of cellulose whose viscose production becomes fluid. After hardening as a filament, it remains as cellulose. With these properties, the structure of viscose is highly similar to cotton. Viscose’s moisture absorption property is higher than in cotton. Normally collects 11-14% moisture, swelling high, can absorb water up to 80-120%.
Dry strength is lower than in cotton. Age resistance is at a very low rate. When wet, its durability decreases by 40-70% compared to dry and its elongation is twice as high as cotton, with 15-30%. Viscose is very suitable for dyeing and printing due to its higher moisture absorption than cotton. It also makes the colors appear brighter.
It is used to give a shine effect in fabrics that are desired to be shiny, crepe fabrics, and knits. Inlining fabrics, blouses, shirts, T-shirts, dresses, decorations, and women’s interior offers are preferred. Viscose fiber is used by mixing it with other fiber types such as cotton, linen, and wool.
