Viscose derives its name from the viscous liquid. The material is neither truly natural nor truly synthetic, it falls somewhere in between. The raw material for viscose is cellulose, extracted mainly from wood pulp, which is broken down either mechanically or chemically and reformed into fibres.

The furniture made of viscose gives a luxurious look yet is quite affordable. Many stores like furniture zone & sleep shop and others are counted amongst best to offer viscose furniture.

It is basically cellulose. One trade name was/is Rayon. It is made by taking wood pulp and mercerising in caustic soda. This is called alkcell. This is then reacted with carbon disulfide to make sodium cellulose xanthate. This is then mixed with more caustic soda solution and then matured. This viscose is then forced through a spinneret and spun in an acid bath. The caustic reacts with the acid leaving cellulose fiber. The raw fiber is then washed and treated.

Viscose is the name for a type of bio-based textile made from regenerated cellulose fiber, using a wet-spin process. Viscose fabric is a part of the rayon family. All fabrics manufactured with cellulose, from bamboo, plant or tree pulps, are collectively called rayon.

Dissolving pulp from wood or cotton fibres is treated with sodium hydroxide, then mixed with carbon disulfide to form cellulose xanthate, which is dissolved in more sodium hydroxide. The resulting viscose is extruded into an acid bath, either through a slit to make cellophane, or through a spinneret to make rayon. The acid converts the viscose back into cellulose.

The solution viscose is made from treating a cellulose compound with a mixture of carbon disulfide, sodium hydroxide. The solution is used to create rayon, a soft fiber fabric.

What is viscose is it a type of cotton?

Viscose rayon is a man-made fiber made from wood pulp though other materials may be used. It is basically modified cellulose. Viscose is very similar to cotton and silk. (Cotton is also made of cellulose). Viscose falls somewhere in between a natural fiber and a man-made one. The raw material for viscose is cellulose which is usually reacted with caustic soda and carbon disulfide. It is reformed as fibers by spinning this viscose solution in an acid bath. Viscose rayon has a silky appearance and feel, and also has the ability to breathe in a manner similar to cotton weaves.

How is the material cellophane produced?

Cellophane is a type of transparent sheet made from regenerated cellulose. The cellulose solution is dissolved in alkali and carbon disulfide, turning it into viscose. The viscose is then converted back to cellulose.


What is cotton viscose?

No. Viscose is a man-made fibre, made from regenerated wool cellulose. Wool is fabricated from animal fleece.


What is the difference between viscose and rayon?

viscose (also known as viscose rayon) is a group of fabrics and yarns produced by extruding cellulose solution through holes in a spinneret, then coagulating the resulting filaments in an acid (the viscose process). There are several different sort of viscose fibres made by modifying this process, eg crimped, hollow, high tenacity (stronger). So viscose rayon is a particular type of cellulose fibre made using the viscose process, and it's also often called just 'viscose' or just 'rayon', because it's the commonest kind of rayon. Other kinds of rayon are cuprammonium rayon and acetate rayon.
