Solution

  • Rayon is an artificially manufactured cellulose fiber, which is made from purified cellulose.

  • Viscose, lyocell and modal are different types of rayon which differ from each other due to differences in manufacturing processes and other properties.
  • Rayon’s cellulosic base contributes many properties similar to those of cotton or other natural cellulosic fibers.
