What is Viscose?

27-04-2025

Natural

Made from 100% wood cellulose, viscose-rayon is a natural alternative to acrylic, polyester, nylon and other petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. The highly absorbent nature of cellulose fibre enables it to take dyes very well, bringing about rich and radiant colours without losing its natural lustre.

Renewable

Our wood fibre supply is sourced from sustainably managed plantations and forests. These trees are renewable resources which are harvested within 5 years for the next cycle of planting and harvesting, thus ensuring a constant supply of renewable raw materials.

Comfortable

Soft and breathable as cotton and smooth as silk, viscose-rayon drapes beautifully, giving extra comfort and satisfaction to end users.

Biodegradable

Consisting of natural plant-based polymers, viscose-rayon is biodegradable and naturally decomposes into the soil.

Comfortable

Viscose rayon delivers these benefits in clothing, home fabrics and hygiene products that people use every day. Made from wood cellulose, viscose rayon has a silky look and the feel of cotton with the same properties of comfort, breathability and absorbency. Easy to dye, viscose rayon is woven or knitted to make underwear, baby clothing, skirts, shirts and dresses that are soft on the skin. At home, it’s the ideal fabric for high-end bed sheets, towels, tablecloths, napkins, furniture covers, curtains and drapes.

Renewable & Biodegradable

Viscose rayon is a fully biodegradable alternative to acrylic, polyester, nylon and other petroleum-based synthetic fabrics. Cellulose pulp from sustainably managed plantations of fast-growing acacia and eucalyptus trees also makes viscose rayon a great alternative to cotton, which is grown on agricultural land using large amounts of water. Demand for viscose rayon is growing as people want only the best touching their skin.
