DESCRIPTIONS AND BENEFITS

Viscose Fabric

Viscose Fabric

Viscose is a type of rayon which is made from wood cellulose. The word ‘viscose’ was coined in 1894 by the French chemist and industrialist Henri Braconnot who discovered that cellulose could be dissolved in acid, treated with caustic soda, and then regenerated into cellulose fibres.

In 1930, the viscose process was patented by the British company Courtaulds Fibres. This process revolutionized the textile industry and led to a huge decline in silk production. The first successful commercial production of viscous Rayon fibre took place at Courtaulds’ factory in Coventry, England on February 8th 1934.

In 1938, DuPont introduced its own version of viscous rayon called Orlon.
