Rayon 100% Rayon is a manufactured and regenerated cellulose artificial fiber. In Europe it was called viscose. Cellulose from wood or cotton fibers is treated with sodium hydroxide, and then mixed with carbon disulfide to form cellulose xanthate, which is then dissolved in more sodium hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded in an acid bath either through a cellophane slot, or through a small hole to make rayon (sometimes called viscose). The acid converts the viscose back into cellulose. Rayon is a very versatile fiber and has the same properties in terms of comfort of use as other natural fibers and can imitate the feel of silk, wool, cotton or linen. The fibers can be easily dyed in other colors such as red. Rayon fabrics are soft, light, cool, comfortable and very absorbent, but do not insulate the body, allowing perspiration. Therefore, they are ideal for hot and humid climates. According to their presentation, a distinction is made between the so-called filament rayon and the short fiber viscose.
