In the previous fabric articles, we talked about natural fibers.
Today we change the taste and talk about man-made fiber – viscose~
Don’t rush away, man-made fiber also has its own advantages~
Viscose fiber properties
Viscose fiber, also known as viscose fiber, is a type of man-made fiber and the second largest output in China varieties of chemical fibers.
Viscose fiber is also called wooden tencel. Because of its special nano-thread molecular structure, it is like a pipe for air circulation on the surface of the fabric, ensuring sufficient oxygen circulation and locking in moisture, so it has quite good properties. Humidity regulating effect.
Because viscose fiber has excellent spinnability, it is often blended and interwoven with cotton, wool or various synthetic fibers and used in various Clothing and decorative textiles.
The viscose fiber developed in the 1950s has basically overcome the shortcomings of the past. Its fabric fastness, washability, and morphological stability are close to high-quality cotton.
Viscose fiber performance
Viscose fiber can be widely used because of its very good performance.
In addition to good hygroscopicity and breathability, viscose fiber also feels smooth and silky to the touch.
Compared with cotton and linen, viscose fiber has good dyeability and is not easy to fade.
Viscose fiber is not prone to static electricity and is suitable for making underwear, outerwear, quilt tops and decorative fabrics.
Viscose fiber also has properties such as UV protection, insect resistance and heat resistance, and is widely used.
However, the elasticity of viscose fiber is very poor, and it is easy to wrinkle and not stiff.
At the same time, viscose fiber is not resistant to washing, wear-resistant, easy to fluff, and has a relatively high shrinkage rate.
