How do you tell the difference between a silk and rayon World War 2 map?

One method is to take one thread sample from the map and burn it. Rayon will melt but silk will burn. Most "silk" maps made in WW2 were actually rayon. A few of the early maps were silk and these were usually crude maps and not in color. In 1943 the British also began using viscose rayon and cuprammonuium, a form of rayon commonly known asBemberg silk or copper rayon.

What is the burning and chemical test for rayon?

The burning test for rayon involves holding a small piece of the fiber to a flame. Rayon will ignite easily and burn rapidly, producing a bright flame and a smell similar to burning paper. The chemical test for rayon can include dissolving it in sodium hydroxide, which will cause rayon to disintegrate, as it is a regenerated cellulose fiber. Both tests help differentiate rayon from other fibers, such as polyester or acrylic, which have different burning and solubility characteristics.
