How Viscose Fabric is manufactured

The Plant

Chips of the plant are mixed with chemicals like sodium hydroxide to create a dark wood pulp solution.

The Cleaning Process

Chips of the plant are mixed with chemicals like sodium hydroxide to create a dark wood pulp solution.

The Making of Fiber

After being treated with carbon disulfide, the pulp is dissolved in sodium hydroxide to produce the “viscose” solution which is used to spin the fibers.

The Spinning Process

Regenerated cellulose filaments are produced by forcing a viscous solution through a spinneret.

The Final Result

Weaving or knitting with this regenerated cellulose yarn results in a viscose rayon fabric
